摘要
We have cloned the gene for the large subunit of the DNA primase from Drosophila melanogaster, and mapped it to position 77b on chromosome 3. The central region of the protein shows high similarity with homologues from other species, but the N- and C-termini diverge. The protein is enriched in replicating tissues, and consistent with this the region upstream of the gene contains close matches to the sites of two transcription factors - Dref and E2f - which have been implicated in controlling proliferation-associated genes.
