Comparisons of Relative Activities of Maize Adh(1) Alleles in Heterozygotes-analyses at the Protein (Crm) Level.
نویسنده
چکیده
The method of high-resolution electrophoresis was employed to compare the relative amounts of enzyme produced by the Adh(1) (F) and Adh(1) (S) alleles in heterozygotes at different stages of development. The results are in complete agreement with those obtained from enzymatic analyses and support the competition hypothesis for the regulation of the alcohol dehydrogenase gene.

Alcohol dehydrogenase in maize: genetic control of enzyme activity.
A gene (Adhr(r)) which controls the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase in the scutellum of maize has been found. This gene is not allelic to the Adh(1) locus, which specifies the charge of the enzyme molecule and hence its migration rate. The two genes are linked and located about 17 crossover units apart. The Adh(r)(N) allele specifies equal activities of both the Adh(1)(S) and Adh(1)(F) produc...
متن کاملComparison of alcohol dehydrogenase expression in Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans.
Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) gene expression was analyzed in Drosophila melanogaster and its sibling species D. simulans. The levels of ADH activity, ADH-cross-reacting material (CRM), and ADH-mRNA were analyzed for several strains of each species, which derive from diverse geographic locations around the world. There is considerable quantitative variation in ADH activity, CRM level, and RNA lev...
متن کاملA CRM domain protein functions dually in group I and group II intron splicing in land plant chloroplasts.
The CRM domain is a recently recognized RNA binding domain found in three group II intron splicing factors in chloroplasts, in a bacterial protein that associates with ribosome precursors, and in a family of uncharacterized proteins in plants. To elucidate the functional repertoire of proteins with CRM domains, we studied CFM2 (for CRM Family Member 2), which harbors four CRM domains. RNA coimm...
متن کاملSubunit Interaction O F a Temperature-sensitive Alcohol Dehydrogenase Mutant in Maize1
EMPERATURE-sensitive mutations, i.e., mutations which render enzymes ‘inactive only at certain temperatures. have proven to be extremely useful in genetic analyses. Such mutations are usually detected by the inability of an organism to grow or carry out a particular function at high temperatures. In the course of ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) niutation studies a temperature-sensitive allele of t...
متن کاملThe genetic basis of dosage compensation of alcohol dehydrogenase-1 in maize.
The levels of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) do not exhibit a structural gene-dosage effect in a one to four dosage series of the long arm of chromosome one (1L) (Birchler 1979). This phenomenon, termed dosage compensation, has been studied in more detail. Experiments are described in which individuals aneuploid for shorter segments were examined for the level of ADH in order to characterize the g...
