A relatively small 5' regulatory region of esterase S gene of Drosophila virilis determines the specific expression as revealed in transgenic experiments.

Expression of the esterase S gene of Drosophila virilis was studied in transgenic experiments. Truncated genomic copy of this gene including 400 bp of 5' regulatory region was integrated into the genome of Drosophila melanogaster. The products of the transferred gene were detected. It was found that strict temporal and tissue specificity of the esterase S gene expression is conserved in transformed flies. The results suggest that this specificity is evidently determined by the regulatory region of the esterase S gene and controlled by cis mechanism.

The expression of esterase S gene of Drosophila virilis in Drosophila melanogaster.

Drosophila melanogaster was transformed with the esterase S gene from Drosophila virilis. This gene is strongly activated in ejaculatory bulbs of mature males of Drosophila virilis. The closely related gene from Drosophila melanogaster is activated in ejaculatory ducts. The tissue- and stage-specific expression of incomplete genomic copy of the esterase S gene integrated into the Drosophila melanogaster genome is the same as in Drosophila virilis. These data show that tissue and stage specificity is determined by relatively small 5' regulatory region of the esterase S gene. The comparison between deduced amino-acid sequences of the esterase S of Drosophila virilis and esterase 6 of Drosophila melanogaster was performed. These sequences revealed 50% homology.

[Transfer of hybrid plasmids pRP1.2::MINI-Mu into Agrobacterium and Rhizobium cells].

The study is devoted to determination of bacteriophage Mu genome regions responsible for transfer limitation and instability of the plasmids in cells of strains of practically important microorganisms. With this aim in view, we determined the frequency of transfer into Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Rhizobium meliloti cells of plasmids with mini-Mu phages carrying previously constructed deletions of various lengths. Sharp decrease has been noted in the frequency of transfer into A. tumefaciens strain PG2592 of all the plasmids used, as compared with the initial plasmid pRP1.2 with no dependence on the availability of mini-Mu killing functions. This gives evidence that deletions in the mini-Mu utilized do not include the sites affected by the recipient' restriction system. As regards R. meliloti L5-30-M27, it appeared that the transfer of pRM30 plasmid carrying mini-Mu 5 with conserved killing functions (the ability for autonomous transposition) is of the same frequency as the transfer of pRP1.2. In this mini-Mu, the region between the extreme HpAI sites in the right end is missing, this region being probably responsible for such low frequency of transfer into Rhizobium cells of Mu-containing plasmid.

[Genetic analysis of Escherichia coli min81 mutation blocking the development of bacteriophage Mu].

Data characterizing mim81 mutation obtained by the method for direct selection of transposition mutations are presented. The development of Mu is shown to be dramatically suppressed in the mutant strain both upon infection and after induction from the lysogenic state. Frequencies of lysogenization and mini-Mu-dependent formation of cointegrates in the mutant strain are comparable with those in the wild-type strain. Mu development prohibition is removed if expression of early Mu gene is provided from the modified Pe promoter. The results obtained make us believe that the mechanism of mim81 mutation action involves reduction of early gene expression to the level that is sufficient for Mu DNA integration into the chromosome during infection and for single replicative events, but insufficient for vegetative development of bacteriophage Mu.

Morphological method for estimation of simian virus 40 infectious titer.

The cytomorphologic method previously reported for titration of adenoviruses has been employed for estimating the infectious titer of simian virus 40 (SV 40). Infected cells forming intranuclear inclusions were determined. The method examined possesses a number of advantages over virus titration by plaque assay and cytopathic effect. The virus titer estimated by the method of inclusion counting and expressed as IFU/ml (Inclusion Forming Units/ml) corresponds to that estimated by plaque count and expressed as PFU/ml.
