Organization of transcription units around the Drosophila melanogaster rudimentary locus and temporal pattern of expression. 1986

J M Rawls, and J N Freund, and B P Jarry, and C Louis, and W A Segraves, and P Schedl

The molecular organization of 90 kb of DNA derived from a region of the X chromosome that encompasses the rudimentary locus of D. melanogaster is presented. This segment spans the cytogenetic region 14F2-3 to 15A1-2, and there are, in addition to the rudimentary gene several transcription units present, whose functions are still unknown. We have determined the pattern of expression of all these genes at several stages of development, and found that they all show a different temporal modulation of their activity. The accumulation of the r product correlates well with the enzymatic activity determined for the protein product of the gene, being highest in very early embryos and adult females.

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
