Variations in the heat-induced protein pattern of several Drosophila montium subgroup species (Diptera:Drosophilidae).
After temperature elevation, the newly synthesized polypeptides from several Drosophila montium subgroup species, of the melanogaster species group, were analyzed in denaturing acrylamide gels. The pattern obtained is characteristic of the heat shock response already documented for many other Drosophila species, although the relative electrophoretic mobility of the "small" heat shock proteins exhibits a species-specific pattern. Based on the above pattern, the montium species are placed in three distinct groups. The present data is consistent with that previously used to propose a northeast to southwest evolutionary mode of expansion for the montium subgroup species.
