RESUMO
We have investigated the ability of transcripts of the Drosophila melanogaster alcohol dehydrogenase gene to be spliced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The alcohol dehydrogenase gene was cloned in S. cerevisiae on a 2 micron DNA-based vector and a hybrid yeast actin-Drosophila alcohol dehydrogenase gene was constructed to demonstrate that transcripts encoded on a 2 micron plasmid could be accurately and efficiently spliced. Transcription of the Drosophila gene occurred in yeast with and without a yeast promoter. The transcripts were polyadenylated and terminated approximately 600 nucleotides distal to the polyadenylation site used in Drosophila. In yeast no splicing of the two introns within the alcohol dehydrogenase coding sequence was detected. However, the leader sequence was apparently spliced using the same 3' splice site as is used in adult flies, but a different 5' splice site. This result may be partly explained by the existence in the Drosophila gene of a sequence which is believed to be required for splicing in S. cerevisiae.
