Molecular analysis of cis-regulatory sequences at the alpha-amylase locus in Drosophila melanogaster.

Biochemical genetics - 1 Jun 1992

Hawley S A, Doane W W, Norman R A

Abstract excerpt

The Amylase locus in Drosophila melanogaster contains duplicate, divergently transcribed structural genes for alpha-amylase, AmyA and AmyB. A sensitive and reliable transient expression assay was developed for testing amylase activities produced by exogenous Amy genes in somatically transformed larvae of an amylase-null strain of flies. Alleles tested, AmyA and AmyB, came from recombinant clone lambda Dm65, which...
