Previous studies of Drosophila melanogaster have shown that the expression of X-linked, testis-specific reporter genes is suppressed in the male germline. However, it is not known whether this phenomenon is restricted to testis-expressed genes or if it is a more general property of genes with tissue-specific expression, which are also underrepresented on the X chromosome. To test this, we compared the expression of three tissue-specific reporter genes (ovary, accessory gland and Malpighian tubule) inserted at various autosomal and X-chromosomal locations. In contrast to testis-specific reporter genes, we found no reduction of X-linked expression in any of the other tissues. In accessory gland and Malpighian tubule, we detected higher expression of the X-linked reporter genes, which suggests that they are at least partially dosage compensated. We found no difference in the tissue-specificity of X-linked and autosomal reporter genes. These findings indicate that, in general, the X chromosome is not a detrimental environment for tissue-specific gene expression and that the suppression of X-linked expression is limited to the male germline.","lang":"eng"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","isi":1,"department":[{"_id":"BeVi"}],"publisher":"Nature Publishing Group","day":"01","type":"journal_article","doi":"10.1038/hdy.2017.12","page":"27 - 34","issue":"1","author":[{"full_name":"Argyridou, Eliza","last_name":"Argyridou","first_name":"Eliza"},{"last_name":"Huylmans","orcid":"0000-0001-8871-4961","first_name":"Ann K","id":"4C0A3874-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Huylmans, Ann K"},{"full_name":"Königer, Annabella","last_name":"Königer","first_name":"Annabella"},{"full_name":"Parsch, John","first_name":"John","last_name":"Parsch"}],"status":"public","external_id":{"isi":["000405397800004"]},"date_updated":"2023-09-22T09:41:21Z","publist_id":"6374","oa_version":"None","year":"2017","month":"07","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0018067X"]},"title":"X-linkage is not a general inhibitor of tissue-specific gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster","quality_controlled":"1","related_material":{"record":[{"id":"9861","status":"public","relation":"research_data"}]},"citation":{"ieee":"E.
