Hybridization of tRNAs of Drosophila melanogaster to polytene chromosomes. 1980

S Hayashi, and I C Gillam, and A D Delaney, and R Dunn, and G M Tener, and T A Grigliatti, and D T Suzuki

Highly purified tRNAs from Drosophila melanogaster were iodinated with 125I and hybridized to squashes of polytene chromosomes of Drosophila silivary glands followed by autoradiography to localize binding sites. Most tRNAs hybridize strongly to more than one site and weakly to one or more additional sites. The major sites for various tRNAs are the following: tRNA2Arg, 42A, 84F1,2; tRNA2Asp, 29DE; tRNA3Gly, 22BC, 35BC, 57BC, tRNA2Lys, 42A, 42E; tRNA5Lys, 84AB, 87B; tRNA2Met, 48B5-7, 72F1-2, 83F-84A; tRNA3Met, 46A1-2, 61D1-2, 70F1-2; tRNA4Ser, 12DE, 23E; tRNA7Ser, 12DE, 23E; tRNA3aVal, 64D; tRNA3bVal, 84d3-4, 92b1-9; tRNA4Val, 56D3-7, 70BC.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D002875 Chromosomes In a prokaryotic cell or in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, a structure consisting of or containing DNA which carries the genetic information essential to the cell. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Chromosome
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004331 Drosophila melanogaster A species of fruit fly frequently used in genetics because of the large size of its chromosomes. D. melanogaster,Drosophila melanogasters,melanogaster, Drosophila
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001345 Autoradiography The making of a radiograph of an object or tissue by recording on a photographic plate the radiation emitted by radioactive material within the object. (Dorland, 27th ed) Radioautography
D012343 RNA, Transfer The small RNA molecules, 73-80 nucleotides long, that function during translation (TRANSLATION, GENETIC) to align AMINO ACIDS at the RIBOSOMES in a sequence determined by the mRNA (RNA, MESSENGER). There are about 30 different transfer RNAs. Each recognizes a specific CODON set on the mRNA through its own ANTICODON and as aminoacyl tRNAs (RNA, TRANSFER, AMINO ACYL), each carries a specific amino acid to the ribosome to add to the elongating peptide chains.
