Gene structure and multiple mRNA species of Drosophila melanogaster aldolase generating three isozymes with different enzymatic properties.

Abstract:

:Genomic clones encoding the Drosophila aldolase gene were isolated and the organization of the gene was determined. The protein-coding region spanning nearly 3.5 kb consists of five coding exons (exon 2, 3, 4 alpha, 4 beta, and 4 gamma). The insect exon 2 corresponds to exons 2 to 7 of vertebrate aldolase genes and thus appears to have been formed by the fusion of these 6 exons into a single exon during evolution. The Drosophila aldolase gene is predicted to generate mRNAs for three isozymes (alpha-, beta-, and gamma-types) from the primary transcripts by alternative usage of the final three exons. The reverse transcriptase-PCR assay revealed the occurrence of mRNAs for the three isozymic forms at different developmental stages, and tissue-specific expression was also found to occur in adult flies. In addition to the usual type mRNA species for the alpha-, beta-, and gamma-isozymes, two novel forms of mRNAs, alpha beta- and beta gamma-type mRNAs, were detected tissue-specifically in adult flies, although their functions are unpredictable. The alpha beta-mRNA is an alpha-type mRNA in which exon 4 beta remains unspliced, while the beta gamma-mRNA is a beta-type mRNA with the exon 4 gamma remaining unspliced. Recombinant enzymes expressed in Escherichia coli were all active and exhibited different enzymatic properties.
