摘要: The rate of ribosomal (r)-protein synthesis in the early Drosophila embryo is low despite presence abundant, maternally supplied r-protein mRNAs. This due to specific repression mRNA translation. In contrast mRNAs, most other mRNAs are efficiently translated embryo. Here we report on identification cis-acting sequences that mediate translational A1 (rpA1) mRNA. Chimeric genes containing from translationally regulated rpA1 fused constitutively alpha-tubulin were constructed and transformed into germ line. Translation corresponding hybrid was measured ovaries embryos transgenic flies. results indicated a 89-nucleotide sequence untranslated leader by itself sufficient confer full regulation heterologous
