Change in nuclear potassium electrochemical activity and puffing of potassium-sensitive salivary chromosome regions during Chironomus development.

Changes in nuclear K+ electrochemical activity and total nuclear K+ content in salivary glands of Chironomus tentans were measured with ion-selective microelectrodes based on valinomycin and with flameless atomic absorption spectrometry, respectively. The K+ activity increased by a factor of 2.6 and the total K+, by a factor of 1.5 as oligopausing larvae developed into prepupae. The extent of decondensation (puffing) of K+-sensitive regions in the polytene chromosomes underwent a parallel increase during this developmental event. In vitro culture of glands from oligopausing larvae resulted in similar changes with respect to nuclear K+ activity and puffing.[1]
