Mutant alleles of the meiotic locus, mei-9, differ in degree of effects on rod chromosome magnification and ring chromosome transmission in Drosophila.

Two mutant alleles of the meiotic locus, mei-9, have been examined for their effect on magnification of a rod Xbb chromosome and transmission of a ring Xbb chromosome under magnifying conditions. Our results indicate that the effects of these two mutations are allele-specific: mei-9a strongly inhibits both rod chromosome magnification and ring chromosome loss under magnifying conditions, while mei-9b has a smaller inhibitory effect on rod chromosome magnification and on the transmission of ring chromosomes under magnifying conditions. These observations can be explained by a difference in leakiness between the two alleles. Our results demonstrate that mutants defective in excision repair and repair replication inhibit ribosomal gene magnification. This suggests that a component of the excision repair pathway is involved in the process of magnification.

Characterization of interferon messenger RNA from human lymphoblastoid cells.

After treatment with Sendai virus, Namalwa cells form large amounts of interferon. RNA extracted from treated whole cells or from their polysomes was injected into Xenopus laevis oocytes and the interferon formed was titrated. The results show that the amount of interferon mRNA was maximal by 9 h after treatment of the cells with Sendai virus and then declined. Sucrose gradient centrifugation of the mRNA gave substantial purification and showed that its size was 12 S.
