Modification of heat-shock gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster populations via transposable elements.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 2003

Lerman Daniel N, Michalak Pawel, Helin Amanda B, Bettencourt Brian R, Feder Martin E

Abstract excerpt

We report multiple cases in which disruption of hsp70 regulatory regions by transposable element (TE) insertions underlies natural variation in expression of the stress-inducible molecular chaperone Hsp70 in Drosophila melanogaster. Three D. melanogaster populations from different continents are polymorphic for jockey or P element insertions in the promoter of the hsp70Ba gene. All three TE insertions are within...
