Metabolic control of daily locomotor activity mediated by tachykinin in Drosophila

Communications Biology, 2021
Lee and colleagues report the effect of a high-sucrose diet on Drosophila locomotor activity via DTk-TkR86C neuropeptide signalling. This signalling pattern appears to involve a circadian element, with pacemaker neuron involvement having a possible time ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Naked cuticle is essential for Drosophila wing development beyond Wingless signaling

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Naked cuticle (Nkd), a Wnt signaling inhibitor, assumes extensive roles in Drosophila wing development. Overexpressing Nkd causes smaller, crumpled wings, while also perturbing multiple signaling pathways and developmental genes. A specific region (R1S) is critical for Nkd's function as a signaling integrator, offering new insights for studying its ...

A novel role for Hsc70–4 in blood cell differentiation in Drosophila

Frontiers in Immunology
The Drosophila lymph gland serves as an excellent model for studying blood cell development, closely mirroring the key components of mammalian hematopoietic niches: blood cell progenitors, mature blood cells, and niche cells that secrete signals to ...

Effect of Centella asiatica Leaf Extract on the Dietary Supplementation in Transgenic Drosophila Model of Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson's Disease, 2014
The role of Centella asiatica L. leaf extract was studied on the transgenic Drosophila model flies expressing normal human alpha synuclein (h-αS) in the neurons. The leaf extract was prepared in acetone and was subjected to GC-MS analysis. C.

dUTPase is essential in zebrafish development and possesses several single‐nucleotide variants with pronounced structural and functional consequences

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...
