Locus 67B of Drosophila melanogaster contains seven, not four, closely related heat shock genes.

Abstract: The four small hsp genes of Drosophila melanogaster as well as three genes regulated during development (genes 1, 2 and 3) are localized at the chromosomal locus 67B. The four small hsp genes share strong sequence homologies between themselves which were detected here by cross‐hybridization. Under the same stringency conditions, each of the genes 1, 2 and 3 hybridize to some of the small hsp genes. By DNA sequencing of gene 1, the homology was localized within the same two regions already conserved between the… Show more

“…17 and 18 for reviews). In this organism, there are four main sHsps (DmHsp22, DmHsp23, DmHsp26, and DmHsp27), the genes of which are localized in a cluster of seven heat-inducible genes at locus 67B (19). These fours sHsps show sequence homology in the ␣-crystallin-like domain of ϳ100 amino acids at the C terminus.…”

“…The number of small HSPs identified in different species varies greatly. For example, in many species of plants such as the soybean, more than 20 small HSPs have been identified (14), whereas in Drosophila six small HSPs are known (15) and in humans only one has been identified (16). The function of small heat shock proteins remains unclear.…”

“…In D. melanogaster, there are seven shsp genes located closely in a linked cluster on chromosome three in the order hsp27, hsp23, hsp67Ba, hsp26, hsp22, hsp67Bb and hsp67Bc (Ayme and Tissières 1985). The sHsps have many different functions, both under stress and under non-stress conditions (Mestril et al 1986;Michaud et al 1997;Michaud and Tanguay 2003).…”
