Transformation mapping of the regulatory elements of the ecdysone-inducible P1 gene of Drosophila melanogaster.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The transcription of the P1 gene is induced by 20-hydroxyecdysone in fat bodies of third-instar larvae. Germ line transformation showed that sequences between -138 to +276 contain elements required for a qualitatively correct developmental and hormonal regulation of P1 transcription. Sequences from -138 to -68 are essential for this expression.

Deletion scanning of the regulatory sequences of the Fbp1 gene of Drosophila melanogaster using P transposase-induced deficiencies.
A procedure permitting deletion scanning of potential cis-regulatory sequences within a transgene whose genomic position remains fixed was applied to the study of the upstream sequences of the ecdysteroid-inducible Fat-body-protein-1 (Fbp1) gene. Deficiencies were induced in a Fbp1:Adh fusion transgene by means of a secondary P transposase mutagenesis. Phenotypic and molecular screens were used...
متن کاملEcdysone-inducible gene expression in mammalian cells and transgenic mice.
During metamorphosis of Drosophila melanogaster, a cascade of morphological changes is triggered by the steroid hormone 20-OH ecdysone via the ecdysone receptor, a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. In this report, we have transferred insect hormone responsiveness to mammalian cells by the stable expression of a modified ecdysone receptor that regulates an optimized ecdysone responsive...
متن کاملInterspecific comparisons of the structure and regulation of the Drosophila ecdysone-inducible gene E74.
The Drosophila melanogaster E74 gene is induced directly by the steroid hormone ecdysone and is a member of a small set of "early" genes that appear to trigger the onset of metamorphosis. The gene consists of three overlapping transcription units encoding two proteins, E74A and E74B, which possess a common C terminus. According to the Ashburner model for ecdysone's action, an E74 protein produc...
متن کاملSelectable Marker Gene Removal and Expression of Transgene by Inducible Promoter Containing FFDD Cis-Acting elements in Transgenic plants
Abstract Background: Selectable marker gene (SMG) systems are critical for generation of transgenic crops. Transgenic crop production Background: Selectable marker gene (SMG) systems are critical for generation of transgenic crops. Transgenic crop production without using SMG is not economically feasible. However, SMGs are non-essential once an intact transgenic plant has been established. Eli...

Background: In this study, the toxicity of the different xenobiotics was tested on the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster model system. Methods: Fly larvae were raised on food supplemented with xenobioticsat different concentrations (sodium nitroprusside (0.1-1.5 mM), S-nitrosoglutathione (0.5-4 mM), and potassium ferrocyanide (1 mM)). Emergence of flies, food intake by larvae, and pupation h...
