Abstract
A rare naturally occurring allele, GpdhACb62, at the sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase locus in Drosophila melanogaster, encodes an enzyme with an electrophoretic mobility that is more cathodal than that produced by the common slow electrophoretic allele. After electrophoresis and staining of extracts of single adult flies there is a single band of activity corresponding in position to GPDH-1, but, using highly concentrated extracts, a faint band corresponding to GPDH-3 is observed. In GpdhACb62 homozygotes there is about 26% of the normal level of activity in adults, and less than 6% in third instar larvae. The reduction in activity is significantly greater than the decrease in GPDH immunologically cross-reacting material (CRM). Northern analyses, and rapid amplification of the cDNA ends (RACE) of the 3' regions of the transcripts, show that the levels and structures of the poly(A)+RNAs are similar in homozygotes for GpdhACb62 and for a normal activity allele GpdhAC8. Hybridization to oligonucleotide probes specific for the GPDH-1 and GPDH-3 transcripts was of a similar intensity in GpdhACb62 and GpdhAC8 adult flies. In third instar larvae the main transcript is for GPDH-3 and again the hybridization signals were similar in each line. The activity of the enzyme produced by GpdhACb62 was unstable both at 50 degrees C and at 0 degrees C. The activity lost at 0 degrees C was recovered by incubation at 20 degrees C. The complete GpdhACb62 gene, and the partial Gpdh tandem duplication 3' to this gene, were cloned and sequenced. Comparisons with two normal activity GpdhF genes revealed 31 unique changes in the first copy of GpdhACb62. In exon 4, a T to G substitution changes cysteine to glycine and may disrupt a disulphide bond and be responsible for the distinctive properties of GPDH-ACb62.

Abstract
Northern analyses of two low-activity sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Gpdh) alleles extracted from natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster showed that one of them, GpdhACyg22, produced wild-type levels of a normal sized (1.7-kb) mRNA but the other, GpdhAMB5, had very low levels of a 1.7-kb mRNA together with low levels of a transcript 200 bp larger. The two variant genes were cloned and sequenced. Compared with normal activity alleles, there were two nucleotide differences in the DNA sequence of GpdhACyg22 which were in first-codon positions and would be expected to give rise to Asn-13-->Tyr and Arg-272-->Cys substitutions. The second of these changes is most likely to account for the altered properties of the enzyme. In contrast, none of the nucleotide differences in GpdhAMB5 would give rise to amino acid substitutions, but a 76-bp deletion in the 5' region removed the normal TATA box and there was a 20-bp insertion in the same region. One of the two transcripts was derived from the use of a substitute TATA box sequence in the insertion, but the 1.9-kb transcript had heterogeneous 5' ends that were not associated with substitute TATA box sequences. The two transcripts either are produced at a lower rate or are less stable than the normal mRNA.

Abstract
The tissue-specific expression and isozymic composition of Drosophila sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) (EC 1.1.1.8) have been determined for a high-activity control line and two variant lines that alter either the temporal or systemic expression of GPDH through a reduction in rates of polypeptide synthesis. The temporal variant exhibits a reduction in enzyme levels in all larval tissues and in the adult abdomen, while levels of activity in the adult thorax are equal to the control line. Isozymic analyses of these tissues demonstrate that it is the GPDH-3 species that is reduced in a temporal and tissue-specific manner. In contrast, the systemic variant demonstrates a uniform reduction of all isozymic species in each tissue and developmental stage. Analyses of the tissues of F1 hybrid offspring of each variant line and appropriately marked electrophoretic variants demonstrate that the tissue-specific effects observed are due to cis-acting elements that are tightly linked to the structural gene.

Abstract
Eleven Australian natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster were screened by electrophoresis for evidence of null and/or low activity variants at the Gdph locus. Of 5018 alleles investigated, 57 had markedly lower GDPH activity, as judged by their heterozygous phenotypes, than control alleles. GPDH assays of 13 of these variant alleles showed that whilst they were heterogeneous in their properties and included electrophoretic variants and two categories of low-activity variant, there were no true null alleles. The most common low-activity variants exhibited dominance for GPDH activity in heterozygotes with normal alleles, and were shown to share this property with an allele previously isolated from a London (UK) population (Langley et al., 1981).

Abstract
The murine "housekeeping" enzyme, cytosolic NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase (E.C.1.1.1.42) (genetic locus: Idh-1), exhibited a complex pattern of allele-specific expression. Protein electrophoresis on cellulose-acetate gels and determination of relative enzymatic activity by means of densitometry revealed that in heart tissue (but not liver tissue) of certain hybrid crosses the AA-homodimer was underrepresented relative to total enzymatic activity, and the degree of underrepresentation changed during development. In mixtures of homozygous tissue extracts of heart tissue (but not liver tissue) the AA-homodimer was underrepresented relative to the BB-homodimer. Relative activity of allelic isozymes varied as a function of tissue (heart versus liver), age, and the parental source of the Idh-1 alpha allele, but did not vary as a function of sex. Allele-specific expression was also exhibited in kidney tissue of the same animals. In adult male kidney tissue extracts from heterozygotes, the AA-homodimer was underrepresented relative to total enzymatic activity; in adult female kidney tissue extracts from heterozygotes, a more codominant phenotype was observed. Tissue extracts from immature hybrid animals exhibited a phenotype midway between the adult male and adult female phenotypes. Tissue extracts from castrated males exhibited a phenotype equivalent to that seen in females. Relative activity of allelic isozymes in kidney varied as a function of age and sex, but did not vary as a function of the parental source of the Idh-1 alpha allele. While cytosolic NADP-IDH is a "housekeeping" enzyme, expressed in multiple tissues of the mouse, differences in the relative intensities of allelic isozyme bands provide evidence for tissue- and stage-specific regulatory variation.

Abstract
Developmental profiles of the second- and third-chromosome modifiers of the activities of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) in Drosophila melanogaster were investigated. Third-chromosome modifiers showed very strong effects on both enzyme activities at larval, pupal, and adult stages, whereas second-chromosome effects were detected mainly at larval and adult stages. For both enzyme activities and both chromosomes, the correlation over line means between larval and pupal stages was significantly positive, but the correlation between larval or pupal stage and adult stage was not significant. This result suggests that the actions of modifiers on G6PD and 6PGD activities are influenced by the change of developmental stages. Correlation between G6PD and 6PGD activities was positive and highly significant throughout the developmental stages for both sets of chromosomes, although third-chromosome correlations were slightly higher than second-chromosome correlations. The magnitude of the correlation between G6PD and 6PGD activities does not seem to be influenced by the change of development. Diallel crosses for both sets of chromosomes indicate that the action of activity modifiers is mainly additive for both sets of chromosomes, but dominance effects were detected in some cases in adult males. Significant maternal effects were detected for the third chromosome for both enzyme activities until the pupal stage. The change of the activity modifier action after emergence of the imago and the significant correlation between G6PD and 6PGD activities were also detected for diallel progeny.

Abstract
The tissue specific patterns and ontogeny of sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH, EC 1.1.1.14). lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, EC 1.1.1.27) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH, EC 1.1.1.42) are reported for Barbus tetrazona (tiger barb), B. conchonius (rosy barb), B. nigrofasciatus (black ruby barb), B. titteya (cherry barb), B. sachsi (gold barb), and in interspecific hybrids where B. tetrazona is the maternal parent. The spatial and temporal expression of SDH, LDH and IDH isozymes in Barbus is consistent with those reported for other teleosts. As the genetic distance between the parentals used in forming the hybrid increases, allelic expression proceeds from synchronous to asynchronous, with an increasing delay in embryonic gene expression. These observations are consistent with the hypothesis that parental sensor genes differ in their response to maternally controlled regulatory signals; indicative of species specific effector/activator RNA molecule concentrations and sensor/receptor gene induction thresholds.

Abstract
Genetic variation among second and third chromosomes from natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster affects the activity level of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.8; GPDH) at both the larval and the adult stages. The genetic effects, represented by differences among chromosome substitution lines with coisogenic backgrounds, are very repeatable over time and are generally substantially larger than environmental and measurement error effects. Neither the GPDH allozyme, the geographic origin, nor the karyotype of the chromosome contributes significantly to GPDH activity variation. The strong relationship between GPDH activity level and GPDH-specific CRM level, as well as our failure to find any thermostability variation among the lines, indicates that most, if not all, of the activity variation is due to variation in the steady-state quantity of enzyme rather than in its catalytic properties. The lack of a strong relationship between adult and larval activity levels suggests the importance of stage- or isozyme-specific effects.
