Isolation of mosquito vitellogenin genes and induction of expression by 20-hydroxyecdysone
Abstract
Vitellogenic female Aedes aegypti contain abundant, 6500 nucleotide long RNAs that are not present in males or non-vitellogenic females and which were presumed to encode vitellogenin (VG). Three clones that hybridized to cDNA made to poly(A+)RNA from vitelogenic females, but not to cDNA made to male RNA, were selected from a genomic library. DNA from each clone hybridized to the 6500 nucleotide RNA species. Restriction enzyme mapping suggests …
