Abstract:
:DNA amplification for two major DNA puffs (II/2B and II/9A) of the fungus fly Sciara coprophila increases steeply from 17 to 19 days after hatching (18 degrees C), resulting in almost 20-fold more DNA at these loci in mature larval salivary glands than in adult tissues. At 19 days after hatching when gene amplification reaches a plateau, there is a burst in the amount of mRNA encoded by these two DNA puffs. Expansion of the two puffs coincides with the increase in transcription rather than reinitiation of DNA replication. In contrast, an RNA puff (III/9B) undergoes no DNA amplification, and the burst in RNA produced by this locus occurs slightly later, at 20 days after hatching. The progression of cytological puffing and associated molecular events of DNA amplification and transcription correlate with features of the external phenotype of the larvae, especially the number of pigment granules in the eyespots that are the anlage to the adult eyes. The sequential and coordinated regulation of DNA puff replication and transcription is discussed.
