Tissue-specific and dietary control of alpha-amylase gene expression in the adult midgut of Drosophila melanogaster.

The Journal of experimental zoology - 1 May 1992

Thompson D B, Treat-Clemons L G, Doane W W

Abstract excerpt

The regulatory effects of allelic substitution at the trans-acting mapP locus and of dietary glucose on the expression of the duplicate genes for alpha-amylase (Amy) in Drosophila melanogaster were examined in the anterior midgut and posterior midgut regions of mature flies. The levels of amylase activity and amylase protein, as well as the abundance of amylase-specific RNA, were quantified. All 3 parameters of...
