Response of Drosophila metallothionein promoters to metallic, heat shock and oxidative stresses.

The metallothionein system in Drosophila melanogaster is composed of two genes, Mtn and Mto. In order to compare the induction properties of these genes, we transformed D. melanogaster with P-element vectors containing Adh and lacZ reporter genes under the control of Mtn and Mto promoters, respectively. Mtn and Mto transgenes are mainly expressed in digestive tract. However, Mtn expression has been detected also in the fat body. Mtn and Mto transgenes respond differently to metallic, heat-shock and oxidative stresses.These data confirm that both genes are in part functionally different.[1]
