A cluster of vitellogenin genes in the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata: sequence and structural conservation in dipteran yolk proteins and their genes.

Genetics - 1 Apr 1991

Rina M, Savakis C

Abstract excerpt

Four genes encoding the major egg yolk polypeptides of the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata, vitellogenins 1 and 2 (VG1 and VG2), were cloned, characterized and partially sequenced. The genes are located on the same region of chromosome 5 and are organized in pairs, each encoding the two polypeptides on opposite DNA strands. Restriction and nucleotide sequence analysis indicate that the gene pairs have...
