Basal X chromosome segments present on Dp(1;Y)BSC chromosomes Kim Cook, Russell Garton, Adam Brown, Megan Ward, Jennifer Deal, Megan Deal, Thom Kaufman & Kevin Cook Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center Indiana University We have generated Y-linked duplications of X chromosomal segments by irradiating an attached-XY (C(1;Y)N12) with an inversion in the X chromosome. Irradiation produces a Dp(1;Y) chromosome by inducing a large deletion in the progenitor chromosome with one breakpoint within the inversion and another breakpoint in X heterochromatin or basal X euchromatin. The region distal to the deletion on a Dp(1;Y) consists of two parts: X tip genes distal to the inversion and genes from the middle of the X moved near the end of the X by the inversion. The distal and medial duplicated segments present on particular Dp(1;Y)BSC chromosomes have been described in other personal communications to FlyBase. The region of a Dp(1;Y) proximal to the deletion will carry no basal euchromatic genes if the proximal deletion breakpoint falls in X heterochromatin. When the proximal deletion breakpoint falls in basal X euchromatin, however, basal euchromatic genes will be present. This personal communication describes the basal X segments present on a group of Dp(1;Y)s. We mapped the distal extents of the basal segments to ~10 gene intervals defined by PCR primers using the following approach. Males carrying a Dp(1;Y) were crossed to females carrying a transposable element insertion in a basal X position. Primers flanking the insertion sites of the transposable elements were used to amplify fragments from DNA isolated from male progeny. With short extension times, fragments are amplified only if the site of the transposable element insertion is present on the Dp(1;Y). The following transposable elements and primer pairs were used in mapping: Insertion: P{SUPor-P}KG10095 Forward primer: GCATTGCCGACCTTTGAGCTGTGC ( X:20631444..20631467 ) Reverse primer: GTTAAACCTGAATTGAGCATTGCTAGC ( X:20632215..20632241 ) Insertion: P{SUPor-P}KG06210 Forward primer: GTGGATATGGATGTGTGGCAGG ( X:20795940..20795961 ) Reverse primer: CTCCAATCCCACTTCCCTTTGTTGC ( X:20796429..20796453 ) Insertion: P{SUPor-P}bvesKG09159 Forward primer: GATCACTGACAGCTCAATTAGCACTG ( X:20942269..20942294 ) Reverse primer: CATTCGCACTCGAGAGCCATTGAACC ( X:20943012..20943037 ) Insertion: P{GT1}BG02205 Forward primer: CTTGCATGTCCAACAACTTTACAGCC ( X:21075861..21075886 ) Reverse primer: GTGATTGGTTGTTGTGTAAATGGGCC ( X:21076293..21076318 ) Insertion: P{SUPor-P}CG33713KG06423 Forward primer: CTCGTTCTCGATCTTCTCCAGCGCGG ( X:21189930..21189955 ) Reverse primer: GCAGCTTATGCTTACTAGACATCAGCG ( X:21190646..21190672 ) Insertion: P{SUPor-P}slgAKG07965 Forward primer: CCTTTGCAGCTGCAACTGTCCGAGG ( X:21253567..21253591 ) Reverse primer: CGGCTGGAAGTAAGTCTGCTCCG ( X:21254094..21254116 ) Insertion: P{EPgy2}EY09781 Forward primer: CGCACAGGTCTTGAAGGCATTGCC ( X:21443126..21443149 ) Reverse primer: GTTTCTAGCAGCCCCCTTCGCACCG ( X:21443688..21443712 ) Insertion: P{Mae-UAS.6.11}CG14619GG01842 Forward primer: CATCGCTCGCGCGCACAATCTCGGC ( X:21858117..21858141 ) Reverse primer: GTGCCGCCAGGCTGTCTACGCTCC ( X:21858613..21858636 ) Insertion: P{GT1}BG01274 Forward primer: CTAGTGTATTTGCCTTCACCATAATCG ( X:21961730..21961756 ) Reverse primer: GAGCGAGGAATATCTGATATGCGG ( X:21962214..21962237 ) Insertion: PBac{WH}f02323 Forward primer: GATGGCGGTGTCCTTGTCTCTGGC ( X:22366703..22366726 ) Reverse primer: CCTGTGACATTAATGCAGGCGACGG ( X:22367213..22367237 ) The following basal segments are present on Dp(1;Y)s (Release 5 coordinates and predicted cytologies).
