The DNA puff BhC4-1 gene of the sciarid Bradysia hygida is induced in salivary glands prior to the pupal molt as a secondary response to the increase in ecdysone titers. Previous studies demonstrated that the BhC4-1 promoter is activated in transgenic Drosophila melanogaster salivary glands as a late response to the ecdysone peak that triggers metamorphosis, revealing that this aspect of BhC4-1 transcriptional regulation is conserved in the Drosophila background. To identify regulators of BhC4-1 expression, we utilized a candidate gene approach and tested the roles of the ecdysone-induced genes BR-C, E74, and E75. Our results reveal that the BR-C Z3 isoform is essential for BhC4-1-lacZ induction in prepupal salivary glands and constitute the first demonstration of the participation of early genes products on DNA puff genes regulation.
