Purification of Drosophila Acidic Ribosomal Proteins [PDF]
The relatively acidic proteins (group A80) of Drosophila melanogaster ribosomes were separated by ion-exchange chromatography. Fractions containing one or more acidic proteins were combined into thirteen pools. The criterion for the combination was the migration pattern in one-dimensional polyacrylamide gels containing sodium dodecyl sulphate.

Use of Farnesyl Transferase Inhibitors in an Ageing Model in Drosophila
The presence of farnesylated proteins at the inner nuclear membrane (INM), such as the Lamins or Kugelkern in Drosophila, leads to specific changes in the nuclear morphology and accelerated ageing on the organismal level reminiscent of the Hutchinson ...

BEN-solo factors partition active chromatin to ensure proper gene activation in Drosophila
The BEN-solo proteins—including Insensitive (Insv), Elba1 and Elba2—function in both transcriptional repression and chromatin insulation. Here, the authors investigate the role of these proteins in Drosophila embryos, finding that ELBA and Insv function ...

Protein Interactions on Telomeric Retrotransposons in Drosophila [PDF]
Telomere length in Drosophila is maintained by targeted transposition of three non-LTR retrotransposons: HeT-A, TART and TAHRE (HTT), but understanding the regulation of this process is hindered by our poor knowledge of HTT associated proteins. We have identified new protein components of the HTT array: Chromator (Chro), the TRF2/DREF complex and the ...

Nejire/dCBP-mediated control of H3 acetylation and transcriptional regulation by testis-specific Plus3 domain proteins during Drosophila spermatogenesis [PDF]
Spermatogenesis describes the development from germ line stem cells to highly specialized sperm. Drosophila melanogaster spermatogenesis is a good model system for chromatin remodelling processes as many of these processes are similar in mammals and in ...

Heat shock proteins and Drosophila aging [PDF]
Since their discovery in Drosophila, the heat shock proteins (Hsps) have been shown to regulate both stress resistance and life-span. Aging is characterized by increased oxidative stress and the accumulation of abnormal (malfolded) proteins, and these stresses induce Hsp gene expression through the transcription factor HSF.
