    Notes: Abstract The β1-, β2-, and β3-tubulin genes have been mapped by in situ hybridization on the polytene chromosomes of 11 selected species (15 strains) belonging to the Drosophila montium subgroup. Although the hybridization pattern among the strains of the same species does not differ, this pattern is significantly different among the species. The β-tubulin genes in the montium subgroup seem to be organized in a cluster, or in a semi-cluster, or are completely dispersed. The clustered arrangement is found in the North-Oriental sibling species D. auraria, D. triauraria, and D. quadraria. The semi-clustered arrangement, wherein the β1 and β2 genes are located at the same locus while β3 is at a different one, appears in the South-Oriental species D. bicomuta, D. serrata, and D. birchii, as well as in the Afrotropical species D. diplacantha and D. seguyi. The complete separation of the genes is observed in the Indian species D. kikkawai and D. jambulina and in the Afrotropical species D. vulcana. Based on the above results, a possible mode of evolution of the β-tubulin genes in the montium subgroup is attempted. In addition, phylogenetic relationships among the montium species are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract A clone isolated from a Drosophila auraria heat-shock cDNA library presents two long, antiparallel, coupled (LAC) open reading frames (ORFs). One strand ORF is 1,929 nucleotides long and exhibits great identity (87.5% at the nucleotide level and 94% at the amino acid level) with the hsp70 gene copies of D. melanogaster, while the second strand ORF, in antiparallel in-frame register arrangement, is 1,839 nucleotides long and exhibits 32% identity with a putative, recently identified, NAD+-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD+-GDH). The overlap of the two ORFs is 1,824 nucleotides long. Computational analysis shows that this LAC ORF arrangement is conserved in other hsp70 loci in a wide range of organisms, raising questions about possible evolutionary benefits of such a peculiar genomic organization.

    The heat shock genes in the Drosophila montium subgroup: chromosomal localization and evolutionary implications (1996)

    Notes: Abstract. The hsp70, hsp83, hsrω, and the small heat shock protein genes were mapped on the polytene chromosomes of six species, representative of the geographical distribution of the Drosophila montium subgroup of the melanogaster species group. In addition, based on hybridization conditions, the putative locus of the hsp68 gene is given. In contrast to the situation in the melanogaster subgroup species, the hsp70 locus is single in the montium species. The hsp83, hsrωand the small hsp loci are also single in the montium genomes studied here, a common feature of all Drosophila species. Among the hsp genes studied, the small hsp genes and the hsrω-homologous sequences exhibit a higher degree of divergence between the melanogaster and the montium subgroups. Our results support the idea that the montium subgroup species has a genome organization closer to that of the common ancestor compared with the melanogaster subgroup species.

    The glutamate dehydrogenase, E74 and putative actin gene loci in the Drosophila montium subgroup (1997)

    Notes: Abstract. DNA-specific sequences from an enzyme-coding gene (glutamate dehydrogenase, gdh), a regulatory protein-coding gene (E74) and genes of the actin family were mapped by in situ hybridization on the polytene chromosomes of six species representative of the geographical distribution of the Drosophila montium subgroup of the melanogaster species group. In all species studied, one hybridization signal was detected for the gdh and E74 genes, and seven signals for the actin genes. The distribution of the actin-related loci in five montium species is similar to that of the other Drosophila species studied so far, although they present an extra signal. This distribution differs in the sixth montium species studied, D. kikkawai. Taking into account the present results, as well as previous data obtained mainly by in situ hybridizations, homologies among the polytene chromosomes of the montium subgroup species, as well as between these species and D. melanogaster, were also established.
