GENETIC MAPPING OF THE CODING REGIONS FOR THREE HEAT-SHOCK PROTEINS IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER

1 Division of Biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91125

We describe variants of three heat-shock proteins of Drosophila melanogaster and their use to map the chromosome regions that contain the coding sequences for these proteins. All three map to a region on chromosome 3L that includes only one heat-shock puff, designated as 67B. The results imply that the genes coding for at least three heat-shock proteins are included within the 67B region.
