Construction of Transgenic Drosophila Lines as a Cyclind Expression Reporter System

Article Preview

Abstract:

A 1188bp regulatory sequence upstream of Cyclin D promoter is amplified by PCR, using Drosophila genome as a template, and then cloned into PcaSpeR-AUG-βgal plasmid for injecting into the W1118 line. We obtain several independent transgenic lines with mini-white as a selection marker. After mapping and balancing, immunostaining, the transgenic embryos perform a pattern which is similar to the 11407 line. The results show that these transgenic lines can mimic the endogeneous Cyclin D expression pattern in Drosophila. Thus a lacZ reporter system is constructed for analyzing the Cyclin D function.
