Such an analysis is of particular interest because Drosophila is commonly used for making transformants that carry fusion genes in which the E. coli beta-galactosidase gene, lacZ, is used as a reporter gene. When these transformants are analyzed for beta-galactosidase activity by using chromogen X-gal staining, the method does not distinguish true fusion-gene activity from endogenous beta-galactosidase activity or from the beta-galactosidase activity of bacterial contaminants. Therefore, detailed maps of endogenous beta-galactosidase activity in this organism would help to prevent errors in data interpretation and would indicate which stages were most appropriate for experiments with the lacZ transformants. We have constructed such maps by applying X-gal staining methods to serial frozen sections and whole mounts of larval, prepupal, pupal, and adult stages of D. melanogaster reared under axenic conditions. Results showed endogenous beta-galactosidase activity in a variety of organs including the larval intestine, spiracles, lymph glands, cellular epidermis, and eye-antenna imaginal discs; the pupal cellular epidermis, lymph glands, imaginal tissues, fat body, and spiracle; and the adult pericardial cells, thoracic nephrocytes, ventriculus, and reproductive system. The good correlation between staining and metamorphic remodeling and phagocytic activity indicates that endogenous beta-galactosidase is physiologically interesting."xsd:string |
