[Transposition induction of the mobile genetic element Dm412 in the Drosophila genome using heat shock].
Males of Drosophila melanogaster isogenic line with oligogene mutation radius incompletus (ri) were exposed to standard heat-shock (SHS: t = 37 degrees C, 90 min) and heavy heat-shock (SHS: three-fold transfer of males from t = 37 degrees C, 2h, t0t = 4 degrees C 1 h, and back). At F1 of the treated males with untreated females of the same isogenic line mass transpositions of MGE Dm412 were found. The new positions of MGE seem to be not random, and 5 "hot sites" of transpositions were detected. The probabilities of transpositions were estimated after SHS and HHS and in control sample. They were, correspondingly, 3.4 x 10(-2), 8.7 x 10(-2) and less than 4.1 x 10(-4) transpositions per genome, per site occupied, per generation. Therefore, as a result of HS treatment, the probabilities of transpositions were two orders of magnitude increased as compared to control, directly at next generation after induction. Comparison of these results with those obtained after step-wise temperature treatment shows that induction is dependent rather of "stressor effect" of temperature treatment than of treatment way used.
