In Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood the locus for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, G6pd, was found to be in linkage group I, approximately 35 to 42 map units to the left of ocra, the locus for body color. The locus for midgut alkaline phosphatase, Alkph, was found to be in linkage group II, within 0.41 map units of the locus for xanthine oxidase, Xo. The distance from Xo to the locus for aldehyde oxidase, Ao, was confirmed to be about 42 map units. No evidence for genetical recombination was found in male G. m. morsitans.

Standard mapping procedures were used to map four loci in linkage group I (the X chromosome), two loci in linkage group II, and two loci in linkage group III of Glossina morsitans submorsitans. In the presence of the allele Srd (the distorter allele favoring production of female offspring), no recombination occurred between any of the following loci: Pgm (phosphoglucomutase), wht (white eye color), Est-X (a thoracic esterase), and Sr (sex-ratio distortion). However, in the absence of Srd (i.e., in females homozygous for Srn, the allele that permits males to sire both female and male offspring in approximately equal numbers), the loci Pgm and wht were separated by 23 ± 4.0% recombination (map distance). These results indicate that ourG. m. submorsitans strains carry two forms of the X chromosome, designated XA and XB. In support of this interpretation, two lines of G. m. submorsitans were established: in both lines, males with wild-type eyes sired families that were almost exclusively female, while males with white eyes sired families having males and females in approximately equal numbers. Two loci, Ao (aldehyde oxidase) and Est-1 (a thoracic esterase) were separated by 6.1 ± 2.3% recombination in linkage group II, and two loci, Mdh (malate dehydrogenase) and Pgi (phosphoglucose isomerase), showed 51.9 ± 4.9% recombination in linkage group III.

Differential Part

Linkage group I is defined as the loci on the differential part of the X-chromosome of adult Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood. Three loci are known and their order on the X-chromosome has been demonstrated as ocra (body color), salmon (eye color), and Apk (arginine phosphokinase, E.C. 2.7.3.3) with 38 map units separating the first two loci and 32 to 41 separating the second two. This region of the X-chromosome does not contain the chromosomal inversion known to occur in the Handeni line of G. m. morsitans. Linkage group II is defined as the autosome carrying the locus Xo (xanthine oxidase, E.C. 1.2.3.2), and it is demonstrated to carry also the loci Ao (aldehyde oxidase, E.C. 1.2.3.1) and Odh (octanol dehydrogenase, E.C. 1.1.1.73). Ao and Odh are within 0.36 map units of each other and have not been separated by recombination; this pair of loci occur about 48 map units from Xo. During mapping experiments, no evidence for genetical recombination was found in male G. m. morsitans.

In Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood, linkage group III is defined as the autosome carrying the locus Mdh (malic dehydrogenase), the only locus so far identified in this linkage group. The locus αGpd.2 (α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase) was located 45 map units (MU) to the left of Xo (xanthine oxidase) and the loci Est.1 and Est.2 (loci for two esterases found in the thorax) were mapped approximately 5–10 MU to the right of Ao (aldehyde oxidase) in linkage group II. The location of G6pd (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) has been confirmed to be approximately 37 MU to the left of oc (ocra body color) in linkage group I and it was shown that this region of the X chromosome does not involve the large paracentric inversion found in the Handeni line. A genetic map for 12 loci in the three linkage groups found in G. m. morsitans is presented.Key words: Diptera, Glossina, mapping, inversion, isozymes.

AbstractPolyacrylamide gel (6%) electrophoresis (at pH 8.2) of the thoraces of adult Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood revealed three xanthine oxidase (XO) phenotypes and six aldehyde oxidase (AO) phenotypes. Each enzyme was postulated to be under the control of a single locus, XO with two alleles and AO with three alleles. Gene frequencies were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for both loci in two laboratory populations. Breeding experiments provided direct evidence for single locus control of each enzyme. No significant differences in phenotype frequencies were observed between the colony maintained at the University of Alberta, Canada and the parent colony at the University of Bristol, England. A colony of highly inbred flies from the University of Bristol had only one phenotype of AO and of XO.

Three strains (Kariba, Handeni, and ocra) of Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood were examined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to determine the extent of genetic similarity among the strains. Males were examined for 11 thoracic enzymes, one testicular enzyme, and one midgut enzyme. Tetrazolium oxidase, manganese stimulated malate dehydrogenase, an alpha-glycerophosophate deyhdrogenase, and testicular esterase were monomorphic. Variation was found in xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase, octanol dehydrogenase, an alpha-glycerophosophate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, midgut alkaline phosphatase, two esterases, arginine phosphokinase, and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Loci for the latter two enzymes are on the X-chromosome; all others are on autosomes. Allele frequencies in the three strains indicated that the Kariba and ocra strains are more closely related to each other than either is to the Handeni strain. These genetic similarities are consistant with the geographic origins of the strains. The mean heterozygosity per locus was highest (16.7% and 16.0%) in the two strains (Kariba and ocra) which have the highest reproductive capacity under laboratory conditions, and lowest (7.3%) in the strain (Handeni) which has the lowest reproductive capacity.

Glossina morsitans submorsitans Newstead and Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood carrying two marker genes on the X chromosome, two in linkage group II, and one in linkage group III were hybridized. About 17% of the F1 and from 33 to 56% of the backcross males fertilized G. m. submorsitans, but only one F1 and two backcross males fertilized G. m. morsitans. Similarly, F1 and backcross females were fertilized by G. m. submorsitans but rarely by G. m. morsitans. Chromosomal composition of F1 and backcross males indicated that hybrid male sterility is due to incompatibility of the X chromosome from one subspecies and the Y from the other subspecies or possibly an incompatibility between X chromosomes and autosomes from different subspecies. Results are discussed in the context of a model for evolution of X and Y incompatibility and a model for evolution of maternally inherited factors that cause unidirectional sterility in males. In hybrid females, intrachromosomal recombination was suppressed in the X chromosome and in linkage group II. Fertility of backcross females, mated to G. m. submorsitans, could not be related to the chromosomal composition of the females.Key words: Glossina, hybrid sterility, tsetse, X chromosomes.

The locus for phosphoglucomutase (Pgm) was mapped at less than 1.2 recombination units from the locus for arginine phophokinase (Apk) in linkage group I, the X chromosome. Linkage group III loci were mapped in the order sabr (long scutellar apical bristles in females), Mdh (malate dehydrogenase), and Pgi (glucose-6-phosphate isomerase). The loci sabr and Mdh were separated by 39.3 ± 4.6 recombination units, and Mdh and Pgi were separated by 45.5 ± 4.7 recombination units. Intrachromosomal recombination was rare or did not occur in males. Previously published recombination distances are summarized as a linkage map for the 16 loci that have been mapped in Glossina morsitans morsitans.Key words: tsetse, linkage map, phosphoglucomutase, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase.

Alkaline Phophatase

AbstractThe digestive section of the midgut of Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood contains a phosphatase with a pH optimum of approximately 9.2 and with low substrate specificity; the enzyme was classified as an alkaline phosphatase (E.C. 3.1.3.1).Polyacrylamide gel (6%) electrophoresis (at pH 8.9) of the digestive portion of the midguts of adult G. morsitans morsitans revealed three alkaline phophatase phenotypes. Midgut phosphatase was postulated to be under control of a single locus (designated alkph) with two alleles. Gene frequencies were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in two laboratory populations while a third, highly inbred population had only one phenotype. Phenotype frequencies were not significantly different among females of various ages from the Edmonton colony. Breeding experiments provided direct evidence for single locus control of midgut phosphatase.

The aim of the work was to study the effect of vanadium citrate on the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, estradiol content and to establish correlations between the activity of the studied enzymes and the estradiol content in pregnant female rats under the effect of vanadium compound. The study was carried out on 25 female Wistar rats, divided into five groups: group I - non-pregnant, group II - pregnant consuming pure water without additives, groups III, IV, V - females which during the mating and pregnancy periods received the solution of vanadium citrate at the concentrations of 3.75, 15.63 and 62.5 μgV/kg of body weight, respectively. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase and estradiol content increase in pregnant females of group II compared to group I of non-pregnant animals. In pregnant females, the effect of vanadium citrate resulted in the decrease in the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase in the blood of animals in groups IV and V, and the content of estradiol in the animals of all three experimental groups (III, IV, V), compared to group II of pregnant females. The values of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in the animals of group IV, which received the solution of vanadium citrate at the concentration of 15.63 μgV/kg of body weight, was similar to that of the animals in group I. This may indicate the normalizing effect of vanadium citrate on the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase at the indicated concentration, which is probably due to the ability of the vanadium microelement to inhibit the activity of this enzyme. Vanadium citrate at the concentration of 15.63 μgV/kg of body weight caused the recovery of the enzyme activity to the values of the activity in group І.
