摘要：
Male-specific lethal-2 (msl-2) is a RING finger protein that is required for X chromosome dosage compensation in Drosophila males. Consistent with the formation of a dosage compensation protein complex, msl-2 colocalizes with the other MSL proteins on the male X chromosome and coimmunoprecipitates with msl-1 from male larval extracts. Ectopic expression of msl-2 in females results in the appearance of the other MSL dosage compensation regulators on the female X chromosomes and decreased female viability. We suggest that msl-2 RNA is the primary target of Sxl regulation in the dosage compensation pathway and present a speculative model for the regulation of two distinct modes of dosage compensation by Sxl.
