TAF II 135 also contains two conserved regions, CR-I and CR-II, which are shared with the Drosophila homologue dTAF II 110 and mammalian TAF II 105 [ 27, 30] The CR-II region is also shared with the yeast homologue yTAF II 48 [ 31, 32] and contains a histone fold domain required for heterodimerisation with hTAF II 20/yTAF II 68 [ 33, 34].
In Drosophila , mutations of chico that extend life span increase total SOD enzyme activity; however, resistance to oxidative stress was not detectably increased, at least not as assayed by paraquat resistance [ 16].
Transgenic constructs have been used to cause RNAi in Drosophila, by using various promoters to drive expression of inverted-repeat fragments of gene coding regions [ 14, 15].
