Evidence for evolutionary constraints in Drosophila metal biology.

Biometals : an international journal on the role of metal ions in biology, biochemistry, and medicine - 1 Aug 2011

Sadraie Maryam, Missirlis Fanis

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in single Drosophila melanogaster genes can alter total body metal accumulation. We therefore asked whether evolutionary constraints maintain biologically abundant metal ions (iron, copper, manganese and zinc) to similar concentrations in different species of Drosophilidae, or whether metal homeostasis is a highly adaptable trait as shown previously for triglyceride and glycogen storage. To avoid...
