Abstract
- The metallothionein system in Drosophilamelanogasteris composed of two genes, Mtoand Mn, that code for distinctly different proteins. In order to compare the properties of Mtoand Mtn, we transformed yeast with several fusion plasmids. The Mtoand MtncDNAs, when placed under the control of CUP1or PGKpromoters, can confer a copper-resistance phenotype to copper-hypersensitive cells. Both Mtoand Mtnproteins can be characterized in extracts from transformed yeast cells.
