Proteomic Characterization of Drosophila melanogaster Proboscis
Biology, 2022 Drosophila melanogaster flies use their proboscis to taste and distinguish edible compounds from toxic compounds. With their proboscis, flies can detect sex pheromones at a close distance or by contact. Most of the known proteins associated with probosci’

Drosophila muscleblind codes for proteins with one and two tandem zinc finger motifs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Muscleblind-like proteins, Muscleblind (Mbl) in Drosophila and MBNL1-3 in vertebrates, are regulators of alternative splicing. Human MBNL1 is a key factor in the etiology of myotonic dystrophy (DM), a muscle wasting disease caused by the occurrence of ...

Sonic Hedgehog Is a Member of the Hh/DD-Peptidase Family That Spans the Eukaryotic and Bacterial Domains of Life. [PDF]
, 2018 Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) coordinates Zn2+ in a manner that resembles that of peptidases. The ability of Shh to undergo autoproteolytic processing is impaired in mutants that affect the Zn2+ coordination, while mutating residues essential for catalytic ...

The distribution of GYR- and YLP-like motifs in Drosophila suggests a general role in cuticle assembly and other protein-protein interactions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Arthropod cuticle is composed predominantly of a self-assembling matrix of chitin and protein. Genes encoding structural cuticular proteins are remarkably abundant in arthropod genomes, yet there has been no systematic survey of conserved ...

PROTEIN DIFFERENCES IN DROSOPHILA. I. DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER [PDF]
Genetics, 1963 ONE electrophoresis affords a simple, rapid technique for comparing and characterizing proteins. It is especially suitable for investigations of genetically altered proteins, and notable results have come from the use of this method in studying hemoglobins (INGRAM 1961 ) and haptoglobins ( CONNELL, DIXON and SMITHIES 1962).

Cross-Species Interaction between Rapidly Evolving Telomere-Specific Drosophila Proteins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Telomere integrity in Drosophila melanogaster is maintained by a putative multisubunit complex called terminin that is believed to act in analogy to the mammalian shelterin complex in protecting chromosome ends from being recognized as sites of DNA ...

Label-free quantitative proteomic analysis of adult Drosophila heads
STAR Protocols, 2022 Summary: LIR motif-containing proteins (LIRCPs) bind to LDS (LIR motif docking site) of Atg8-family proteins. In this protocol, we describe steps to identify Drosophila LIRCPs, in Atg8a LDS mutants we have created, via label-free quantitative proteomic ...
