Isolation and characterization of the genomic region from Drosophila kuntzei containing the Adh and Adhr genes.

The nucleotide sequences of the Adh and Adhr genes of Drosophila kuntzei were derived from combined overlapping sequences of clones isolated from a genomic library and from cloned PCR and inverse-PCR fragments. Only a proximal promoter was detected upstream of the Adh gene, indicating that D. kuntzei Adh is regulated by a one-promoter system.
