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

open access: yesPLoS 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.

open access: yesPLoS 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]

open access: yesNetwork 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.

A Mammalian Homolog of Drosophila melanogaster Transcriptional Coactivator Intersex Is a Subunit of the Mammalian Mediator Complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The multiprotein Mediator complex is a coactivator required for transcriptional activation of RNA polymerase II transcribed genes by DNA binding transcription factors.

Drosophila MCM protein complexes. [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Biology of the Cell, 1996
MCM genes encode a family of evolutionarily conserved proteins required for DNA replication. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, where they were first identified, MCM genes interact genetically with each other. Allele specificity in these interactions suggests that MCM proteins physically associate with one another and that this association is essential for ...

Distribution of DNA replication proteins in Drosophila cells

open access: yesBMC Cell Biology, 2007
Background DNA replication in higher eukaryotic cells is organized in discrete subnuclear sites called replication foci (RF). During the S phase, most replication proteins assemble at the RF by interacting with PCNA via a PCNA binding domain (PBD).

Searching for Drosophila Dsn1 kinetochore protein [PDF]

open access: yesCell Cycle, 2009
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.

Organization and evolution of Drosophila terminin: similarities and differences between Drosophila and human telomeres

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2013
Drosophila lacks telomerase and fly telomeres are elongated by occasional transposition of three specialized retroelements. Drosophila telomeres do not terminate with GC-rich repeats and are assembled independently of the sequence of chromosome ends ...

A novel human polycomb binding site acts as a functional polycomb response element in Drosophila. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are key chromatin regulators implicated in multiple processes including embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, genomic imprinting, X-chromosome inactivation, and germ cell differentiation.

Genomic Analysis of Drosophila Neuronal Remodeling: A Role for the RNA-Binding Protein Boule as a Negative Regulator of Axon Pruning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Drosophila mushroom body (MB) {gamma} neurons undergo axon pruning during metamorphosis through a process of localized degeneration of specific axon branches.
