Exploring Banana phytosterols (Beta-sitosterol) on tight junction protein (claudin) as anti-urolithiasis contributor in Drosophila: A phyto-lithomic approach

Informatics in Medicine Unlocked, 2022
Claudins are a class of transmembrane proteins in the family of tight junction (TJ) proteins. The disrupted functioning of claudins has been found to have a role in urolithiasis (Kidney stones).

The S-palmitoylome and DHHC-PAT interactome of Drosophila melanogaster S2R+ cells indicate a high degree of conservation to mammalian palmitoylomes.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Protein S-palmitoylation, the addition of a long-chain fatty acid to target proteins, is among the most frequent reversible protein modifications in Metazoa, affecting subcellular protein localization, trafficking and protein-protein interactions.

Drosophila Rbp6 is an orthologue of vertebrate Msi-1 and Msi-2, but does not function redundantly with dMsi to regulate germline stem cell behaviour. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The vertebrate RNA-binding proteins, Musashi-1 (Msi-1) and Musashi-2 (Msi-2) are expressed in multiple stem cell populations. A role for Musashi proteins in preventing stem cell differentiation has been suggested from genetic analysis of the Drosophila ...

Construction of an alpaca immune antibody library for the selection of nanobodies against Drosophila melanogaster proteins

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Introduction:Drosophila melanogaster is a model organism for studying developmental biology and human neural disorders. Nanobodies are the variable domains of the heavy chains of camelid heavy-chain antibodies (VHHs) with high affinity to their antigens ...

HP1B is a euchromatic Drosophila HP1 homolog with links to metabolism. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1) proteins are an important family of chromosomal proteins conserved among all major eukaryotic lineages. While HP1 proteins are best known for their role in heterochromatin, many HP1 proteins function in euchromatin as well.

Effect of the gene doublesex of anastrepha on the somatic sexual development of Drosophila.

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundThe gene doublesex (dsx) is at the bottom of the sex determination genetic cascade and is transcribed in both sexes, but gives rise to two different proteins, DsxF and DsxM, which impose female and male sexual development respectively via the ...

A widespread family of heat-resistant obscure (Hero) proteins protect against protein instability and aggregation.

PLoS Biology, 2020
Proteins are typically denatured and aggregated by heating at near-boiling temperature. Exceptions to this principle include highly disordered and heat-resistant proteins found in extremophiles, which help these organisms tolerate extreme conditions such

Construction and analysis of the protein-protein interaction network of visual system in Drosophila [PDF]

Network Biology, 2023
Insects are one of the most widely distributed animals on earth, and their visual systems have strong adaptability, deeply affecting their survival, reproduction, diet, and environmental adaptation.
