Evolution of the larval cuticle proteins coded by the secondary sex chromosome pair: X2 and neo-Y of Drosophila miranda: II. Comparison at the amino acid sequence level.

Abstract excerpt

The larval cuticle proteins (LCPs) are encoded by a multigene family, Lcp1-4, located at the right arm of the metacentric autosome 2 (2R) in Drosophila melanogaster. Due to a chromosome fusion the Lcp locus of Drosophila miranda is situated on a pair of secondary sex chromosomes, the X2 and neo-Y chromosomes. Comparing the deduced amino acid sequences of the autosomal D. melanogaster loci with the sex-chromosomal...
