Título: | Functional analysis of a natural mutational hotspot in the proximal promoter of a stress-response gene in Drosophila |
Autor: | Merenciano, Miriam CSIC ORCID; Ullastres, Ana CSIC; González Pérez, Josefa CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | abr-2016 | Citación: | International Congres on Transposable Elements (2016) | Resumen: | Mutational hotspots are common in disease genes and in complex genomic regions not amenable to sequencing by short reads technologies. However, it is still not clear what makes a particular genomic region more prone to mutations and whether the different mutations located in a hotspot are functionally equivalent. In this work, we have discovered and characterized in detail an insertional hotspot in the promoter region of a stress-response gene in the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster. The nine transposable elements insertions described are clustered in a small 368 bp region and all belong to the same family of transposable elements: the roo family. Although the sequences of these insertions are highly similar, their molecular and functional consequences are different: only FBti0019985 insertion is associated with increased resistance to coldstress. Interestingly, the previously described insertional hotspot in the D. melanogaster genome was also located in the promoter of a stress response gene suggesting that selection may favour the maintenance of genetic variability in these genes. | Descripción: | Trabajo presentado en el International Congres on Transposable Elements (ICTE 2016), celebrado en Saint Malo (Francia) del 16 al 19 de abril de 2016. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/153801 |
