Cell cycle control of chorion gene amplification.
Over-replication of two clusters of chorion genes in Drosophila ovarian follicle cells is essential for rapid eggshell biosynthesis. The relationship of this amplification to the follicle cell cycles has remained unclear. To investigate the regulation of amplification, we developed a technique to detect amplifying chorion genes in individual follicle cells using BrdU incorporation and FISH. Amp...
متن کاملAmplification-control element ACE-3 is important but not essential for autosomal chorion gene amplification.
We have further characterized the cis-acting elements that control the amplification of the third chromosomal cluster of chorion genes in Drosophila melanogaster; these include the amplification-control element ACE-3 and four amplification-enhancing regions (AER-a to -d). We have used two types of deletions in the chorion cluster: the first was in vitro generated deletions of the ACE-3 region t...
متن کاملLocalisation of the DmCdc45 DNA replication factor in the mitotic cycle and during chorion gene amplification.
The cdc45 protein was originally identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and shown to be essential for initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication. Subsequent isolation and characterisation of the corresponding genes from fission yeast, Xenopus and mammals also support a replication role for the protein in these species. They further suggest that during the course of its function cdc45 interacts wi...
متن کاملMultiple replication origins are used during Drosophila chorion gene amplification
DNA from Drosophila egg chambers undergoing chorion gene amplification was analyzed using the two-dimensional gel technique of Brewer and Fangman. At stage 10, 34% of DNA molecules from the maximally amplified region of the third chromosome chorion gene cluster contained replication forks or bubbles. These nonlinear forms were intermediates in the process of amplification; they were confined to...
متن کاملMutants suppressing in trans chorion gene amplification in Drosophila.
Two recessive female-sterile mutants, K451 and K1214 , disrupt chorion formation by causing underproduction of all major chorion proteins. We present evidence that this effect is due to underaccumulation of the chorion mRNAs and that, in turn, this is caused by a substantial reduction in the level of chorion gene amplification. The mutants are X-linked but located at two sites far from the chor...
