Abstract Drosophila females are larger than males. In this article, we describe how X-chromosome dosage drives sexual dimorphism of body size... size through two means: first, unbalanced expression a key X-linked growth-regulating gene, and second, female-specific activation the sex-determination pathway. determines phenotypic sex by regulating genes sex-determining presence sets signal elements (XSEs), Sex-lethal (Sxl) is activated in female (XX) but not male (XY) animals. Sxl activates...

Iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP-1) binding to an iron-responsive element (IRE) located close the cap structure of mRNAs represses translation by precluding recruitment small ribosomal subunit these mRNAs. This mechanism is position dependent; reporter bearing IREs further downstream exhibit diminished translational control in transfected mammalian cells. To investigate underlying mechanism, we have recapitulated this effect a rabbit reticulocyte cell-free system. We show that 43S...
