Isolation and characterization of cloned DNA sequences containing ribosomal protein genes of Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract：

:Ribosomal (r) proteins encoded by polyadenylated RNA were specifically precipitated in vitro from polysomes by using antibodies raised against characterized Drosophila melanogaster r proteins. The immuno-purified mRNA in the polysome complex was used to prepare cDNA with which to probe a D. melanogaster genomic library. Selected recombinant phages were used to hybrid select mRNAs, which were analyzed by in vitro translation. Three clones containing the genes for r proteins 7/8, S18, and L12 were positively identified by electrophoresis of the translation products in one-dimensional and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels. Sequences encoding r proteins S18 and L12 were found to be present in the genome in single copies. In contrast, the polynucleotide containing the region encoding 7/8 may be repeated or may contain or be flanked by short repeated sequences. The sizes of mRNAs that hybridized to the recombinant clone containing 7/8 were significantly larger than would be expected from the molecular weight of protein 7/8, implying that there were unusually long 5' and 3' noncoding sequences. The mRNAs for r proteins S18 and L12 were however, only about 10% larger. In situ hybridizations to salivary gland polytene chromosomes, using the recombinant phage, revealed that the recombinant clone containing the gene for r protein 7/8 hybridized to 5D on the X chromosome; the recombinant clone containing the gene for S18 hybridized to 15B on the same chromosome, and the recombinant phage containing the gene for L12 hybridized to 62E on chromosome 3L. It is of interest that the genomic locations of all three r protein clones were within the chromosomal intervals known to contain the Minute mutations [M(1)0, M(1)30, and M(3)LS2]. Although each clone contained sequences specifying two to four proteins, none had more than one identifiable r protein gene, suggesting that different D. melanogaster r protein genes may not be closely linked.
