Sequence variation of alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) paralogs in cactophilic Drosophila.
This study focuses on the population genetics of alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) in cactophilic Drosophila. Drosophila mojavensis and D. arizonae utilize cactus hosts, and each host contains a characteristic mixture of alcohol compounds. In these Drosophila species there are two functional Adh loci, an adult form (Adh-2) and a larval and ovarian form (Adh-1). Overall, the greater level of variation...
متن کاملCosuppression in Drosophila: Gene Silencing of Alcohol dehydrogenase by white-Adh Transgenes Is Polycomb Dependent
When two to six copies of a white promoter-Alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) reporter fusion gene are introduced into the genome, the expression is progressively reduced both in larvae and adults rather than the expected gene dosage effect. In addition, multiple transgenes reduce endogenous Adh transcripts, a result that is strongly analogous to "cosuppression" phenomena described in many plant speci...
متن کاملDetermination of breath alcohol using a differential-type amperometric biosensor based on alcohol dehydrogenase
A differential-type amperometric biosensor based on conventional thick-®lm technology has been developed for breath alcohol measurement. The amperometric breath alcohol biosensor utilizes the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) cofactor which produce reduced NADH as a product of the oxidation of alcohol. The biosensor was designed in a differential format co...
متن کاملImproved methods for genotype determination of human alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) at ADH 2 and ADH 3 loci by using polymerase chain reaction-directed mutagenesis.
The human gene for producing alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH; EC 1.1.1.1) is polymorphic at ADH 2 and ADH 3 loci. Until now, the study of this polymorphism required liver biopsy or allele-specific radioactive probes. We have used directed mutagenesis by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify and analyze the genotype of ADH 2 and ADH 3 loci. Thus, we could determine easily and unambiguously t...
متن کاملAlcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) in the cancer diseases.
Epidemiological data have identified chronic alcohol consumption as a significant risk factor for cancer in humans. The exact mechanism of ethanol-associated carcinogenesis has remained unknown. The metabolism of ethanol leads to generation of acetaldehyde (AA), which is highly toxic and carcinogenic. The amount of acetaldehyde to which cells or tissues are exposed after alcohol ingestion may b...
