Molecular Analysis of Ds Controlling Element Mutations at the Adh1 Locus of Maize

Sutton, W. D., Gerlach, W. L., Peacock, W. J., Schwartz, D.·1984·Science

Abstract

An active maize Adh1-F gene, a Ds -induced mutant of this gene, and two independent Ac -induced revertant alleles have been isolated. The Ds mutant differs from the progenitor allele in having a 405-base pair insertion flanked by a direct repeat of 8 bp. The repeat is a duplication of the 8 bp existing at the point of insertion in the 5′ untranslated region of the gene. The insertion sequence is AT-rich (A, adenine; T, thymine) and has 11-bp inverted repeat sequences at its termini. In the revertants the insertion with its inverted repeats is deleted, but the 8-bp direct repeats remain in modified form. These results establish that the 405-bp sequence is a Ds element. The Adh1 messenger RNA level is low in the Ds mutant, and it appears that new sites for transcription initiation or RNA processing or both are used. There are at least 30 sequences in the maize genome related to the Ds element.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
