A quantitative measure of the mitotic pairing of alleles in Drosophila melanogaster and the influence of structural heterozygosity.

Abstract:

:In Drosophila there exist several examples of gene expression that can be modified by an interaction between alleles; this effect is known as transvection. The inference that alleles interact comes from the observations that homologous chromosomes pair in mitotically dividing cells, and that chromosome rearrangements can alter the phenotype produced by a pair of alleles. It is thought that heterozygous rearrangements impede the ability of alleles to pair and interact. However, because the existing data are inconsistent, this issue is not fully settled. By measuring the frequency of site-specific recombination between homologous chromosomes, we show that structural heterozygosity inhibits the pairing of alleles that lie distal to a rearrangement breakpoint. We suggest that some of the apparent conflicts may owe to variations in cell-cycle lengths in the tissues where the relevant allelic interactions occur. Cells with a longer cell cycle have more time to establish the normal pairing relationships that have been disturbed by rearrangements. In support, we show that Minute mutations, which slow the rate of cell division, partially restore a transvection effect that is disrupted by inversion heterozygosity.
