Journal ArticleDOI
DNA sequence requirements for generating paused polymerase at the start of hsp70.
TL;DR: The level of paused polymerase on the various hybrid hsp70-yp1 promoters correlates with the promoter's potential to direct heat-induced transcription.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and temporal pattern of hsp26 expression during normal development.
TL;DR: The tissue‐specific patterns of developmental expression of hsp26‐lacZ fusion genes inserted into Drosophila melanogaster by germline transformation were analyzed in several transformant lines utilizing a histochemical assay for beta‐galactosidase activity on whole animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drosophila males transfer antibacterial proteins from their accessory gland and ejaculatory duct to their mates.
TL;DR: The male fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster, transfers to his mate proteins that increase his reproductive success by causing changes in her behavior and physiology, and it is shown that among the transferred proteins are ones with antibacterial activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identity and transfer of male reproductive gland proteins of the dengue vector mosquito, Aedes aegypti: potential tools for control of female feeding and reproduction

TL;DR: 63 new putative Ae.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This comprehensive set of Acp genes allows us to dissect the patterns of evolutionary change in a suite of proteins from a single male-specific reproductive tissue and shows that there are separate classes undergoing distinctly dissimilar evolutionary dynamics.
