The transcription of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), expression of which is essential for detoxification of superoxide radicals from mitochondria, has been shown to be regulatedin vitroby many factors and conditions including oxidative stress, cytokines, lipopolysaccharide, cytoplasmic myc (c‐myc),p53and tumour necrosis factors. Here we describe genomic regions inDrosophila melanogasterwith regulatory effects on transcription of theMnSODgene at an organism‐wide level. To understand the integrated regulation ofMnSODexpression we screened chromosomes ofD. melanogasterto locate deficiencies that altered the expression ofMnSOD. Suppressors ofMnSODwere screened by assessing the relative message abundance ofMnSODin 149 deletions covering approximately 81% of theDrosophilagenome. The chromosomal deficiencyDf(2R)017significantly up‐regulatedMnSODmRNA by 1.7‐fold. Deficiency in four other genomic intervals,Df(1)ct‐J4,Df(2L)BSC4,Df(3L)66C‐G28andDf(3R)Scr, down‐regulatedMnSODexpression. Changes inMnSODexpression were positively associated with paraquat sensitivity of the deletion genotypes. Thus, at least one candidate enhancer and four candidate suppressors exist in theDrosophilagenome to regulate the transcriptional activity of theMnSODgenein vivo.
