Many Drosophila cytochrome P450 or Cyp genes are induced by caffeine and phenobarbital (PB). To understand the induction mechanism, we created Drosophila S2 cell lines stably transformed with… Expand

Though operationally defined as cis-regulatory elements, enhancers can also communicate with promoters on a separate homolog in trans, a mechanism that has been suggested to account for the ability… Expand

The 12 distinct subtypes that comprise the interferon alpha (IFNα) family of cytokines possess anti-viral, anti-proliferative and immunomodulatory activities. They are implicated in the etiology and… Expand
Studies on Cytochrome P450 genes in Drosophila melanogaster : Relationship between over expression and DDT resistance, and xenobiotic induction

- Biology
- 2006
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYPs), are involved in the metabolism of a diverse group of endogenous and xenobiotic compounds. In insects, CYPs are involved in conferring resistance against… Expand
