Effect of Dpy-30L1 overexpression on MTF-1 dependent reporters in cell culture and in vivo. A) In transiently transfected Drosophila Schneider S2 cells [32], the ratio of firefly (reporter) to renilla (reference) luciferase activity is shown. Reporter: 4xMRE from the metallothionein B (MtnB) promoter [18] fused to firefly luciferase; reference: tubulin promoter fused to renilla luciferase [53]. Dpy-30L1 and Dpy-30L2 expression constructs were under the control of the actin promoter. 72 hours after transfection, cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of heavy metals for 24 hours. B) Expression level of green fluorescent protein in transgenic larvae that carry an MtnA-YFP reporter construct. Transgenic flies were allowed to lay eggs on normal food or food supplemented with different heavy metals.
