From Linear Genes to Epigenetic Inheritance of Three-dimensional Epigenomes [PDF]
Fifty years ago Jacob and Monod reported their findings on the regulation of gene activity. Working on lambda bacteriophage lysogeny and the regulation of the production of an enzyme that cleaves lactose, they observed that its production was induced by ...

Searching for Drosophila Dsn1 kinetochore protein [PDF]
The Mis12/MIND kinetochore complex is composed of 4 subunits of which the Dsn1 protein is a crucial component in all organisms where it has been identified. In Caenorhabditis elegans, depletion of Dsn1 results in a so-called "kinetochore null" phenotype, hence Dsn1's alternative name KNL3.

Biochemical and functional analysis of Drosophila-sciara chimeric sex-lethal proteins. [PDF]
The Drosophila SXL protein controls sex determination and dosage compensation. It is a sex-specific factor controlling splicing of its own Sxl pre-mRNA (auto-regulation), tra pre-mRNA (sex determination) and msl-2 pre-mRNA plus translation of msl-2 mRNA (

Comparative proteomic profiling reveals molecular characteristics associated with oogenesis and oocyte maturation during ovarian development of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) [PDF]
Time-dependent expression of proteins in ovary is important to understand oogenesis in insects. Here, we profiled the proteomes of developing ovaries from Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) to obtain information about ovarian development with particular ...

Functional divergence in the role of N-linked glycosylation in smoothened signaling [PDF]
The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) Smoothened (Smo) is the requisite signal transducer of the evolutionarily conserved Hedgehog (Hh) pathway. Although aspects of Smo signaling are conserved from Drosophila to vertebrates, significant differences have ...

RNA-DNA strand exchange by the Drosophila Polycomb complex PRC2. [PDF]
Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins form memory of transient transcriptional repression that is necessary for development. In Drosophila, DNA elements termed Polycomb Response Elements (PREs) recruit PcG proteins.

Turning gold into 'junk': transposable elements utilize central proteins of cellular networks [PDF]
The numerous discovered cases of domesticated transposable element (TE) proteins led to the recognition that TEs are a significant source of evolutionary innovation.

Extensive Use of RNA-Binding Proteins in Drosophila Sensory Neuron Dendrite Morphogenesis
The large number of RNA-binding proteins and translation factors encoded in the Drosophila and other metazoan genomes predicts widespread use of post-transcriptional regulation in cellular and developmental processes.

A survey of well conserved families of C2H2 zinc-finger genes in
Background A recent comparative genomic analysis tentatively identified roughly 40 orthologous groups of C2H2 Zinc-finger proteins that are well conserved in "bilaterians" (i.e. worms, flies, and humans).
