CHORION PROTEINS -
Chorion proteins (Cp) are encoded by gene clusters on the X and 3rd chromosome that undergo selective gene application in ovarian follicle cells during oogenesis. The Cp genes encode the major structural components of the eggshell chorion. (Adapted from FBrf0046094, FBrf0053248 and FBrf0227210.)

            In a sample of 79 genes with multiple introns, 33 showed significant heterogeneity in G+C content among introns of the same gene and significant positive correspondence between the intron and the third codon position G+C content within genes. These results are consistent with selection adding against preferred codons at the start of genes.

            Cp19 is subject to post-transcriptional control at stage 14.

            5' flanking sequence conservation of Cp19 is very strong between species and extends further upstream than that for Cp15, Cp16 or Cp18.

            The Cp15, Cp16, Cp18 and Cp19 genes of the chorion cluster have been characterized in D.melanogaster, D.subobscura, D.virilis and D.grimshawi. The temporally specific follicular expression of Cp15, Cp16, Cp18 and Cp19 and gene organization has been conserved. Highly conserved elements exist in the 5' flanking DNA of Cp16 and Cp19.

            Deletion analysis of the chorion gene cluster using P element mediated transformation has identified a 1.5kb region in the vicinity of Cp15 and Cp19 that is important for high chorion gene amplification levels.

            mus101K451, Mcm6K1214 and fs(1)A1059K1 mutants interfere with the amplification of the major chorion genes Cp15, Cp16, Cp18, Cp19, Cp36 and Cp38.

            Sequence analysis of Cp15, Cp18 and Cp19 has led to the identification of a specific DNA element that may control tissue specificity of amplification. Sequences have also been found that may recognize DNA-binding proteins and so function in regulating the amplification or expression of the chorion genes.

            The third of four chorion-protein genes in a 6-kb sequence; encodes S19-1, a chorion protein estimated at 19,000 daltons.

            The third of four chorion-protein genes in a 6-kb sequence; encodes S19-1, a chorion protein estimated at 17,500 daltons. Electrophoretic variants identified by isoelectric focusing.
