Báo cáo Y học: CK2btes gene encodes a testis-specific isoform of the regulatory subunit of casein kinase 2 in Drosophila melanogaster

An earlier described CK2btes gene of Drosophila melano-gasteris shown to encode amale germline speci®c isoformof regulatory bsubunit of casein kinase 2. Western-analysis using anti-CK2btes Ig revealed CK2btes protein in Drosophila testes extract. Expression of a CK2btes± b-galactosidase fusion protein driven by the CK2btes pro-moter was found in transgenic ¯ies at postmitotic stages of spermatogenesis.
