Abstrakt: Drosophila melanogasterwas transformed with the esterase S gene from Drosophila virilis. This gene is strongly activated in ejaculatory bulbs of mature males of Drosophila virilis. The closely related gene from Drosophila melanogasteris activated in ejaculatory ducts. The tissue- and stage-specific expression of incomplete genomic copy of the esterase S gene integrated into the Drosophila melanogastergenome is the same as in Drosophila virilis. These data show that tissue and stage specificity is determined by relatively small 5′ regulatory region of the esterase S gene. The comparison between deduced amino-acid sequences of the esterase S of Drosophila virilisand esterase 6 of Drosophila melanogasterwas performed. These sequences revealed 50% homology.
