The P-M and the 23.5 MRF (hobo) Systems of Hybrid Dysgenesis in Drosophila melanogaster Are Independent of Each Other

Strains of Drosophila melanogaster bearing the male recombination factor 23.5 MRF induce hybrid dysgenesis in a way which is highly reminiscent of the P-M system, and, most probably, causally related to the activity of the transposable element hobo. We have investigated potential interactions between the two systems of hybrid dysgenesis by studying mixed lines derived from bidirectional crosses between 23.5 MRF and P strains, and analyzed their potentials to induce or suppress the occurrence of dysgenesis. All new lines possess the P induction abilities, as determined by two different procedures, and have also acquired a P cytotype. In contrast, some of them lost their ability to induce the non-P-M dysgenesis, as well as to suppress the action of 23.5 MRF. This loss of the 23.5 MRF induction abilities parallels the selective loss of full-length hobo elements from the genome of these lines, providing further substantiation to the notion that the 23.5 MRF activity is directly linked to this transposable element.
