The Dictyostelium genome contains 40 copies of a 4.7-kilobase [kb] repetitive and apparently transposable DNA sequence (DIRS-1) and about 250 smaller elements that appear to be deletions or rearrangements of DIRS-1. Transcripts of these sequences are induced during differentiation and also be heat shock treatment of growing cells. One such cloned element, pB41.6 (2.5 kb) contains a nucleotide sequence identical to the Drosophila consensus heat shock promotor. To test whether this sequence might indeed control the expression of DIRS-1-related RNA, this genomic segment was cloned into yeast cells. In yeast cells, 41.6 directs synthesis of a 1.7-kb RNA that is induced at least 10-fold by heat shock. Transcription initiates at about 124 bases 3'' of the putative promotor sequence and terminates within the 41.6 insert. A 381-base-pair subclone that contains the putative promotor sequence is sufficient to induce the heat shock response of 41.6 in yeast cells.
