AbstractPrevious analysis of an Australian population of D. melanogaster revealed two predominant Est6 promoter haplotypes, P1 and P7. These haplotypes, which differ at 14 sites over a 325-bp region, are associated with a 15-20% difference in male EST6 activity. Here we show that the P1/P7 sequence difference causes the male activity variation by recreating the activity difference among >60 independently transformed lines containing representative P1 or P7 promoter alleles fused to an identical Est6 coding region. Furthermore we find that the whole fly difference reflects about a twofold difference in EST6 activity in the anterior sperm ejaculatory duct. EST6 activity variation in this tissue is known to affect reproductive fitness. Using a combination of RFLP analysis and DNA sequencing, we show that P1 and P7 are predominant in six populations from America, Asia, and Australia, albeit less frequent in a population from the presumptively ancestral east African range of the species. The sequence data show significant departures from neutral expectations for the derived American and Australian populations but not the presumptively ancestral Zimbabwean population. Thus the P1/P7 difference could be a major source of adaptively significant EST6 activity variation through much of the now cosmopolitan range of D. melanogaster.

Isolados de Oidium oriundos de eucalipto (Eucalyptus urophylla) roseira (Rosa sp), dália (Dhalia sp.), feijoeiro (Phaseolus vulgaris) e urucunzeiro (Bixa orellana) foram comparados mediante écnicas de extração e eletroforese de isoenzimas, em gel de amido. Dentre 19 enzimas testadas, fosfatase ácida, enzima málica, alfa-esterase, 6-fosfoglucanato desidrogenase, fosfoglucose isomerase, hexoquinase e malato desidrogenase ofereceram atividade e resolução satisfatórias. Os isolados do patógeno oriundos de eucalipto e de roseira apresentaram um mesmo padrão de bandas com coeficiente de similaridade igual a 100%. Os demais isolados diferiram entre si e exibiram coeficiente de similaridade inferior a 43%. Os isolados obtidos de eucalipto e de roseira, além de morfologicamente similares, apresentaram um mesmo padrão isoenzimático sendo, portanto, anamorfos de Sphaerotheca pannosa.

In the present report, we studied nucleotide variation in three gene regions of Drosophila melanogaster, spanning >5 kb and showing different degrees of association with the cosmopolitan inversion In(3-L)Payne. The analysis of sequence variation in the regions surrounding the breakpoints and the heat shock 83 (Hsp83) gene locus, located close to the distal breakpoint, revealed the absence of shared polymorphisms and the presence of a number of fixed differences between arrangements, indicating absence of genetic exchange. In contrast, for the esterase-6 gene region, located in the center of the inversion, we observed the presence of shared polymorphisms between arrangements suggesting genetic exchange. In the regions close to the breakpoints, the common St arrangement is 10 times more polymorphic than inverted chromosomes. We propose that the lack of recombination between arrangements in these regions coupled with genetic hitchhiking is the best explanation for the low heterozygosity observed in inverted lines. Using the data for the breakpoints, we estimate that this inversion polymorphism is around 0.36 million yr old. Although it is widely accepted that inversions are examples of balanced polymorphisms, none of the current neutrality tests including our Monte Carlo simulations showed significant departure from neutral expectations.
