Conservation and change in structural and 5' flanking sequences of esterase 6 in sibling Drosophila species.

Genetica - 1 Jan 1993

Karotam J, Delves A C, Oakeshott J G

Abstract excerpt

Esterase 6 (Est-6/EST6) is the major beta-carboxylesterase in D. melanogaster and its siblings D. simulans and D. mauritiana. It is expressed in several tissues but its major site of expression is the sperm ejaculatory duct of the adult male. Although EST6 activity affects reproductive fitness, there are high levels of electrophoretic and activity polymorphism, at least within D. melanogaster and D. simulans....
