The sibling species Drosophila melanogaster and D. orena show similar patterns of alcohol dehydrogenase expression, both spatially and temporally. These two species diverged from a common ancestor 6 million to 15 million years ago, and the DNA sequences of the promoter regions of their Adh genes show a mosaic pattern of conservation and change. By interspecific transformation of D. orena sequences into D. melanogaster, we demonstrate a functional equivalence between these sequences. Using both D. melanogaster embryo extracts and purified transcription factor Adf-1, we compare the protection of these promoter sequences from nuclease, demonstrating considerable conservation.
