Cloning A Putative Dna-Binding Protein Controlling The 5'Ltr Of The Copia Element In Drosophila, Horng-Yuan Kan Mar 1993

Cloning A Putative Dna-Binding Protein Controlling The 5'Ltr Of The Copia Element In Drosophila, Horng-Yuan Kan

Theses and Dissertations in Biomedical Sciences

Copia, a Drosophila retrotransposon, is constitutively expressed in all developmental stages, except the embryo in Drosophila melanogaster. The effect of random integration of the copia element results in phenotypic change in Drosophila. The regulatory sequences, controlling copia expression, are located within the 5'LTR. The DNA sequence in the 5'LTR and in the location between downstream of entire the 5' LTR and the initial translation site have been identified by mobilityshift binding assays and DNase I footprinting assays. The data reveals three protected regions: a TATA-binding site, the AT-1, and AT-2 binding sites. The TATA-binding site and AT-1 site are …
