Genetic analysis of the 5S RNA genes in Drosophila melanogaster.
The 5S RNA genes of Drosophila melanogaster in either an isogenic wildtype or a multiply inverted (SM1) chromosome 2 increase their multiplicity when opposite a deficiency for the 5S gene site. This is analogous to the compensation phenomenon previously described for the 18S and 28S ribosomal RNA genes of the X chromosome nucleolus organizer region. Molecular hybridization of 5S RNA to DNA cont...
متن کاملOn the redundancy of DNA complementary to amino acid tranfer RNA and its absence from the nucleolar organizer region of Drosophila melanogaster.
MOLECULAR hybridization (HALL and SPIEGELMAN 1961 ) of labeled ribosomal RNA (r-RNA) with DNA in D. mlanogaster has revealed (VERMEULEN and ATWOOD 1965; RITOSSA and SPIEGELMAN 1965) that, as in the bacteria (YANKOFSKY and SPIEGELMAN 1962a, b, 1963), approximately 0.27% of the DNA is complementary to r-RNA. This DNA is believed to constitute the ensemble of templates for the transcription of r-R...
متن کاملIndependent control of ribosomal gene replication in polytene chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster.
The saturation values for ribosomal RNA hybridization have been determined for DNA from diploid and polytene tissues of Drosophila melanogaster. These values have been measured in XO and XX larvae which have, respectively, one and two nucleolus organizers in the diploid chromosome set. The results show that (1) in diploid cells the ribosomal (r)DNA is present in amounts proportional to the numb...
متن کاملChromosomal localization and partial sequencing of the 18S and 28S ribosomal genes from Bradysia hygida (Diptera: Sciaridae).
In insects, ribosomal genes are usually detected in sex chromosomes, but have also or only been detected in autosomal chromosomes in some cases. Previous results from our research group indicated that in Bradysia hygida, nucleolus organizer regions were associated with heterochromatic regions of the autosomal C chromosome, using the silver impregnation technique. The present study confirmed thi...
متن کاملStudies on the Ribosomal RNA Cistrons in Interspecific Drosophila Hybrids. II. Heterochromatic Regions Mediating Nucleolar Dominance.
Interspecific hybrids of D. melanogaster and D. simulans normally exhibit a secondary constriction only at the D. melanogaster nucleolus organizer (NO). This phenomenon, termed nucleolar dominance, occurs only when the NO-bearing sex chromosomes of both species are present in conjunction. Experiments were initiated to localize regions on the sex chromosomes of D. melanogaster involved in mediat...
متن کاملStudies on the Mutation Abnormal Oocyte and Its Interaction with the Ribosomal Dna of Drosophila Melanogasteri
SANDLER (1970) suggested that mutation, abnormal oocyte (abo:2-38), may influence the function of the ribosomal RNA cistrons. We have examined the abo mutation and its interaction with the ribosomal D N A of Drosophila melanogaster. We observed that the expression of the abo phenotype is unstable under the appropriate conditions, a behavior which paralleled changes in the phenotypic expression ...
