Development of an inducible mouse model of iRFP713 to track recombinase activity and tumour development in vivo [PDF]
, 2017 While the use of bioluminescent proteins for molecular imaging is a powerful technology to further our understanding of complex processes, fluorescent labeling with visible light fluorescent proteins such as GFP and RFP suffers from poor tissue ...

The impact of SPARC on age-related cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2018 Tissue fibrosis, an accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen, accompanies cardiac ageing in humans and this is linked to an increased risk of cardiac failure.

Biochemical and functional analysis of Drosophila-sciara chimeric sex-lethal proteins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 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 (

Nejire/dCBP-mediated control of H3 acetylation and transcriptional regulation by testis-specific Plus3 domain proteins during Drosophila spermatogenesis [PDF]
, 2018 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 ...

A survey of well conserved families of C2H2 zinc-finger genes in
BMC Genomics, 2010 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).

Drosophila Mechanotransduction—Linking Proteins and Functions [PDF]
Fly, 2007 The sensation of touch, gravity, and sound all rely on dedicated ion channels that transduce mechanical stimulus forces into electrical signals. The functional workings and molecular identities of these mechanotransducer channels are little understood. Recent work shows that the mechanotransducers for fly and vertebrate hearing share equivalent gating ...

Identification and Investigation of Postsynaptic Density Homologs
Bioinformatics and Biology Insights, 2008 AMPA receptors are responsible for fast excitatory transmission in the CNS and the trafficking of these receptors has been implicated in LTP and learning and memory. These receptors reside in the postsynaptic density, a network of proteins that links the

Suppression of polyglutamine toxicity by a Drosophila homolog of myeloid leukemia factor 1 [PDF]
, 2002 The toxicity of an abnormally long polyglutamine [poly(Q)] tract within specific proteins is the molecular lesion shared by Huntington's disease (HD) and several other hereditary neurodegenerative disorders.

The analysis of pendolino (peo) mutants reveals differences in the fusigenic potential among Drosophila telomeres [PDF]
, 2015 Drosophila telomeres are sequence-independent structures that are maintained by transposition to chromosome ends of three specialized retroelements (HeT-A, TART and TAHRE; collectively designated as HTT) rather than telomerase activity. Fly telomeres are
