D. melanogaster
Species in the family Drosophilidae have been premier research subjects in evolutionary biology since T. H. Morgan first used Drosophila melanogaster as a genetic tool in the early part of the 20th Century.
ACE3 , the amplification enhancer for the chorion gene cluster on chromosome 3 of Drosophila melanogaster , also contains multiple redundant sequence elements [ 2].
Genomic analysis of the sequenced y; cn bw sp strain of Drosophila melanogaster identified a full-length Burdock LTR retrotransposon located just 3' to the cathD gene and a 359bp LTR fragment (complete LTR is 659 bp) of an Antonia LTR retrotransposon [ 15 ] located within an intron of the Cht3 gene (Figure 1).
Runx genes encode the sequence-specific DNA binding subunit of a heterodimeric transcription factor, the defining feature of which is the Runt domain, a highly conserved 128 amino acid sequence involved in DNA binding, heterodimerization, nucleotide binding, and nuclear localization [ 1 2 ] . The Runt domain is named after the first member of the family to be discovered, the regulatory gene runt from Drosophila melanogaster . Runx genes have also been discovered and functionally characterized in mammals, sea urchins and nematodes, and in general are involved in the transcriptional control of developmental processes [ 3 4 ] . In humans, mutations in each of the three Runx genes are associated with disease caused by defective control of cell proliferation and/or differentiation [ 4 5 ] . Most studies of Runx gene function and regulation have been carried out in mammals and in D. melanogaster , each of which has multiple Runx genes.
