A DNA-dependent RNA polymerase was solubilized from sucrose gradient isolated, DNase-treated mitochrondria of Drosophila melanogaster. The isolated mitochondria were not detectably contaminated with nuclear DNA as shown by CsCl gradient centrifugation and polylysine Kieselguhr chromatography. The detergent-solubilized RNA polymerase was sensitive to rifampicin, resistant to α-amanitin, had an apparent molecular mass of about 60 kilodaltons, and displayed a tendency to aggregate, both in crude extracts or when purified. The mitochondrial RNA polymerase could be distinguished from nuclear RNA polymerases on the basis of size, salt optima, rifampicin sensitivity, and α-amanitin resistance.

We have isolated chromosomal deoxyribonucleic acid clones containing the Drosophila dopa decarboxylase gene. We describe an isolation procedure which can be applied to other nonabundantly expressed Drosophila genes. The dopa decarboxylase gene lies within or very near polytene chromosome band 37C1-2. The gene is interrupted by at least one intron, and the primary mode of regulation is pretranslational. At least two additional sequences hybridized by in vivo ribonucleic acid-derived probes are found within a 35-kilobase region surrounding the gene. The developmental profile of ribonucleic acid transcribed from one of these regions differs from that of the dopa decarboxylase transcript.
