We have investigated the occurrence of dosage compensation in D. willistoni and D. pseudoobscura, two species whose X chromosome is metacentric with one arm homologous to the X and the other homologous to the left arm of chromosome 3 of D. melanogaster. Crude extracts were assayed for isocitrate dehydrogenase (XR), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (XL?), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (XL?), and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (chromosome 2) in D. willistoni, and for esterase-5 (XR), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (XL?), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (XL?) and amylase (chromosome 3) in D. pseudoobscura. Our results indicate that a mechanism for dosage compensation is operative in both arms of the X chromosome of these two species.
我们研究了威氏果蝇(D. willistoni)和拟暗果蝇(D. pseudoobscura)中剂量补偿的发生情况,这两个物种的X染色体是中着丝粒染色体,其中一条臂与黑腹果蝇(D. melanogaster)的X染色体同源,另一条臂与黑腹果蝇的3号染色体左臂同源。对威氏果蝇的粗提物进行了异柠檬酸脱氢酶(XR)、葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶(XL?)、6-磷酸葡萄糖酸脱氢酶(XL?)和α-甘油磷酸脱氢酶(2号染色体)的检测,对拟暗果蝇的粗提物进行了酯酶-5(XR)、葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶(XL?)、6-磷酸葡萄糖酸脱氢酶(XL?)和淀粉酶(3号染色体)的检测。我们的结果表明,这两个物种X染色体的两条臂上都存在剂量补偿机制。
