Multiple cis-acting sequences contribute to evolved regulatory variation for Drosophila Adh genes.
Drosophila affinidisjuncta and Drosophila hawaiiensis are closely related species that display distinct tissue-specific expression patterns for their homologous alcohol dehydrogenase genes (Adh genes). In Drosophila melanogaster transformants, both genes are expressed at high levels in the larval and adult fat bodies, but the D. affinidisjuncta gene is expressed 10-50-fold more strongly in the ...
متن کاملCis-acting regulatory sequences promote high-frequency gene conversion between repeated sequences in mammalian cells.
In mammalian cells, little is known about the nature of recombination-prone regions of the genome. Previously, we reported that the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) mu locus behaved as a hotspot for mitotic, intrachromosomal gene conversion (GC) between repeated mu constant (Cmu) regions in mouse hybridoma cells. To investigate whether elements within the mu gene regulatory region were required...
متن کاملcis-Acting sequences that contribute to synthesis of minus-strand DNA are not conserved between hepadnaviruses.
Hepadnaviruses are DNA viruses that are found in several mammalian and avian species. These viruses replicate their genome through reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate termed pregenomic RNA (pgRNA). pgRNA is reverse transcribed by the viral polymerase into a minus-strand DNA, followed by synthesis of the plus-strand DNA. There are multiple cis-acting sequences that contribute to the syn...
متن کاملIdentification of benzo[a]pyrene-inducible cis-acting elements within c-Ha-ras transcriptional regulatory sequences.
Previous studies in this laboratory have demonstrated that transcriptional deregulation of c-Ha-ras expression is associated with the induction and maintenance of proliferative vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotypes by benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). We examined previously undescribed cis-acting elements within the proximal 5' regulatory region of c-Ha-ras (-550 to +220) for their ability to influe...
متن کاملA cis-acting regulatory variant in the IL2RA locus.
The mechanism for the association of type 1 diabetes (T1D) with IL2RA remains to be clarified. Neither of the two distinct, transmission-disequilibrium confirmed loci mapping to this gene can be explained by a coding variant. An effect on the levels of the soluble protein product sIL-2RA has been reported but its cause and relationship to disease risk is not clear. To look for an allelic effect...
