Abstract

Male-specific lethal-one (msl-1) is one of four genes that are required for dosage compensation in Drosophila males. To determine the molecular basis of msl-1 regulation of dosage compensation, we have cloned the gene and characterized its products. The predicted msl-1 protein (MSL-1) has no significant similarity to proteins in the current data bases but contains an acidic N terminus characteristic of proteins involved in transcription and chromatin modeling. We present evidence that the msl-1 protein is associated with hundreds of sites along the length of the X chromosome in male, but not in female, nuclei. Our findings support the hypothesis that msl-1 plays a direct role in increasing the level of X-linked gene transcription in male nuclei.

摘要

雄性特异性致死基因-1(msl-1)是果蝇雄性剂量补偿所需的四个基因之一。为了确定msl-1调控剂量补偿的分子基础,我们克隆了该基因并对其产物进行了表征。预测的msl-1蛋白(MSL-1)与当前数据库中的蛋白质没有明显的相似性,但含有参与转录和染色质建模的蛋白质所特有的酸性N末端。我们提供的证据表明,msl-1蛋白与雄性细胞核中沿X染色体长度的数百个位点相关联,而在雌性细胞核中则不然。我们的研究结果支持了这样一种假设,即msl-1在提高雄性细胞核中X连锁基因转录水平方面发挥直接作用。
