Sex-specific effects of cis-regulatory variants in Drosophila melanogaster.
Sexual dimorphism at the level of gene expression is common and well documented, but much less is known about how different cis-regulatory alleles interact with the different trans-regulatory environments present in males and females. Here we show that sex-specific effects of cis-regulatory variants are common in Drosophila.
متن کاملLaboratory selection at different temperatures modifies heat-shock transcription factor (HSF) activation in Drosophila melanogaster.
The magnitude and time course of activation of the heat-shock transcription factor (HSF) differ among Drosophila melanogaster lines evolving at 18 degrees C, 25 degrees C or 28 degrees C for more than 20 years. At lower heat-shock temperatures (27-35 degrees C), flies from the 18 degrees C population had higher levels of activated HSF (as detected by an electrophoretic mobility shift assay) tha...
متن کاملExtensive sex-specific nonadditivity of gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster.
Assessment of the degree to which gene expression is additive and heritable has important implications for understanding the maintenance of variation, adaptation, phenotypic divergence, and the mapping of genotype onto phenotype. We used whole-genome transcript profiling using Agilent long-oligonucleotide microarrays representing 12,017 genes to demonstrate that gene transcription is pervasivel...
متن کاملSex-specific quantitative trait loci affecting longevity in Drosophila melanogaster.
Senescence, the decline in survivorship and fertility with increasing age, is a near-universal property of organisms. Senescence and limited lifespan are thought to arise because weak natural selection late in life allows the accumulation of mutations with deleterious late-age effects that are either neutral (the mutation accumulation hypothesis) or beneficial (the antagonistic pleiotropy hypot...
متن کاملMaternal and zygotic sex-specific gene interactions in Drosophila melanogaster.
Sex-lethal (Sxl) is a vital, X-chromosome gene involved in Drosophila sex determination. The most striking aspect of the phenotype of daughterless (da), an autosomal maternal-effect mutation, may be explained by effects on the functioning of the Sxl gene in the zygote. In this paper, new aspects of interactions between various combinations of Sxl and da alleles are explored in order to understa...
