Regulation of amylase activity in Drosophila melanogaster: variation in the number of enzyme molecules produced by different amylase genotypes.

D A Hickey.   

Abstract

Purified amylases from high- and low-activity variants of Drosophila melanogaster showed identical specific activities. Immunoelectrophoresis of crude larval homogenates showed severalfold differences between strains in the amounts of cross-reacting material. Control of amylase activity is "trans"-acting in heterozygotes between high- and low-activity variants. These results suggest the existence of polymorphic regulatory genes affecting the production levels of amylase protein in D. melanogaster.
