Masculinization of XX Drosophila transgenic flies expressing the Ceratitis capitata DoublesexM isoform.

Giuseppe Saccone1, Marco Salvemini, Attilio Pane, Lino C Polito.   

Abstract

The Doublesex (DSX) transcription factor regulates somatic sexual differentiation in Drosophila melanogaster. Female and male isoforms (DSXF and DSXM) are produced due to sex-specific RNA splicing. Here we show that in the distantly related dipteran Ceratitis capitata, the DSXM male-specific isoform is conserved and able to induce masculinization of both somatic and germline tissues when ectopically expressed in XX Drosophila transgenic individuals.
