Disease relevance of Lsp1gamma

  • We have isolated chromosomal segments of D. melanogaster DNA that encode the alpha, beta and gamma polypeptides of the major larval serum protein (LSP1) from libraries of recombinant phage [1].
 

High impact information on Lsp1gamma

  • Assays of CAT activity in the homogenates of dissected tissues indicated that the genes are only expressed in the fat body, as are the endogenous LSP1 genes [2].
  • Expression of the prokaryotic gene for chloramphenicol acetyl transferase in Drosophila under the control of larval serum protein 1 gene promoters [2].
  • We have linked the protein coding region of the prokaryotic gene for chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) to the promoter region of the Drosophila genes for larval serum protein 1 (LSP1) [2].
  • We have determined the nucleotide sequence at the 5' ends of the genes for the alpha, beta and gamma polypeptides of larval serum protein 1 (LSP1) of Drosophila melanogaster [3].
  • CAT expression occurs in approximately 1% of the cultured cells following transfection and the accumulation of protein is maximal three to four days after transfection; and it is dependent upon the presence of the LSP1 sequences [2].
 

Biological context of Lsp1gamma

  • In the Drosophila melanogaster genome, three Larval serum protein 1 (Lsp1) genes (alpha, beta and gamma) are present and each of them is located on a different chromosome, suggesting multiple transposition events [4].
  • Taken together these data indicate that the 1.65 X 10(3) and 2.25 X 10(3) base segments of DNA upstream from the LSP1 alpha and LSP1 beta genes contain cis-acting regulatory elements necessary for correct tissue and temporal specificity of LSP1 gene expression [2].
  • The results obtained demonstrate that the LSP-1 subunit genes are present in equal copies in the genome [5].
  • Short intervening sequences close to the 5' ends of the three Drosophila larval serum protein 1 genes [6].
  • A family of genes coding for larval serum proteins do not respond similarly in trisomies, suggesting that regulation operates on a process which is not common to their coordinate regulation [7].
 

Anatomical context of Lsp1gamma

 

Associations of Lsp1gamma with chemical compounds

  • Two-dimensional peptide mapping of the methionine-containing tryptic peptides showed that half of these peptides are common to all four larval serum protein subunits, and that about two-thirds are common to the three LSP-1 subunits [9].
 

Other interactions of Lsp1gamma

  • The same chromosomal localization and genomic organization, different from that of D. melanogaster, is found in both species for the Lsp1beta and Lsp1gamma genes [4].
  • Proteins 9, 10, 11, and 15 correspond to the LSP-1 gamma, beta, and alpha triplet and LSP-2 polypeptide in D. melanogaster [10].
