Isofemale strains of Drosophila melanogaster were established from single inseminated females collected from populations along the east coast of Australia. Strains were tested for resistance to the organophosphorus insecticide diazinon at larval and/or adult stages of the life cycle. Considerable phenotypic variation was observed within and between population samples but there was no association between collection site of a sample and resistance status. Adult and larval resistance levels were uncorrelated. Resistance levels in adults were low (2-fold) and polygenically based. Larval resistance levels, due to single genes (or gene complexes) on chromosomes II and III, were significant (15-fold). Evidence indicates that the gene on chromosome II is Cyp6g1.

D003577 Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System A superfamily of hundreds of closely related HEMEPROTEINS found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria. They include numerous complex monooxygenases (MIXED FUNCTION OXYGENASES). In animals, these P-450 enzymes serve two major functions: (1) biosynthesis of steroids, fatty acids, and bile acids; (2) metabolism of endogenous and a wide variety of exogenous substrates, such as toxins and drugs (BIOTRANSFORMATION). They are classified, according to their sequence similarities rather than functions, into CYP gene families (>40% homology) and subfamilies (>59% homology). For example, enzymes from the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 gene families are responsible for most drug metabolism.
