Drosophila chromatin: an immunological study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antibodies were prepared against chromatin, various chromosomal protein preparations and against cytoplasm from Drosophila larvae. These antibodies were used to study the distribution of antigens in chromatin and chromosomal protein preparations on double diffusion plates. Antisera from all of the mammals tested precipitated both chromatin and DNA on double diffusion plates run in water. This non-specific precipitation was removed by washing in 0.06M NaCL.

Drosophila NURF-55, a WD repeat protein involved in histone metabolism.
The Drosophila nucleosome remodeling factor (NURF) is a protein complex of four distinct subunits that assists transcription factor-mediated chromatin remodeling. One NURF subunit, ISWI, is related to the transcriptional regulators Drosophila brahma and yeast SWI2/SNF2. We have determined peptide sequences and isolated cDNA clones for a second NURF component (the 55-kDa subunit). Immunological ...
متن کاملHistone lysine demethylases in Drosophila melanogaster
Epigenetic regulation of chromatin structure is a fundamental process for eukaryotes. Regulators include DNA methylation, microRNAs and chromatin modifications. Within the chromatin modifiers, one class of enzymes that can functionally bind and modify chromatin, through the removal of methyl marks, is the histone lysine demethylases. Here, we summarize the current findings of the 13 known histo...
متن کاملThe chromatin landscape of Drosophila: comparisons between species, sexes, and chromosomes.
The chromatin landscape is key for gene regulation, but little is known about how it differs between sexes or between species. Here, we study the sex-specific chromatin landscape of Drosophila miranda, a species with young sex chromosomes, and compare it with Drosophila melanogaster. We analyze six histone modifications in male and female larvae of D. miranda (H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K36me3, H4K16a...
متن کاملConcentration dependent effect of morphine, aspirin, capsaicin and chili pepper hydro alcoholic extract on thermal and chemical pain model in fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster)
Introduction: Pain research using animal models is related to ethical concerns, so invertebrates and insects have been recommended by researchers. In the present study, the nociceptive and antinociceptive effects of capsaicin, aspirin, morphine and chili extract were examined using fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) as an alternative for rodent pain model. Methods: Stage 3 of larvae and ad...
متن کاملInducible DamID systems for genomic mapping of chromatin proteins in Drosophila
Dam identification (DamID) is a powerful technique to generate genome-wide maps of chromatin protein binding. Due to its high sensitivity, it is particularly suited to study the genome interactions of chromatin proteins in small tissue samples in model organisms such as Drosophila Here, we report an intein-based approach to tune the expression level of Dam and Dam-fusion proteins in Drosophila ...
