Peptidoglycan recognition proteins in Drosophila immunity [PDF]

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2014
Innate immunity is the front line of self-defense against infectious non-self in vertebrates and invertebrates. The innate immune system is mediated by germ-line encoding pattern recognition molecules (pathogen sensors) that recognize conserved molecular patterns present in the pathogens but absent in the host.

Fluorescent protein tagging confirms the presence of ribosomal proteins atDrosophilapolytene chromosomes [PDF]

, 2013
\ud \ud Most ribosomal proteins (RPs) are stoichiometrically incorporated into ribosomal subunits and play essential roles in ribosome biogenesis and function.

LDAcoop: Integrating non‐linear population dynamics into the analysis of clonogenic growth in vitro

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Limiting dilution assays (LDAs) quantify clonogenic growth by seeding serial dilutions of cells and scoring wells for colony formation. The fraction of negative wells is plotted against cells seeded and analyzed using the non‐linear modeling of LDAcoop.

Polarity proteins duel in Drosophila [PDF]

Journal of Cell Biology, 2014
![Figure][1] A control fly embryo (left) shows a normal cuticle, whereas the cuticle has fragmented in an embryo with a nonphosphorylatable version of Yurt (right). Gamblin et al. reveal how two proteins grapple to control polarity in epithelial cells.

Evolution of secondary cell number and position in the Drosophila accessory gland.

PLoS ONE, 2023
In animals with internal fertilization, males transfer gametes and seminal fluid during copulation, both of which are required for successful reproduction. In Drosophila and other insects, seminal fluid is produced in the paired accessory gland (AG), the

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 ...

Drosophila photoreceptors and signaling mechanisms

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2009
Fly eyes have been a useful biological system in which fundamental principles of sensory signaling have been elucidated. The physiological optics of the fly compound eye, which was discovered in the Musca, Calliphora and Drosophila flies, has been widely

The Roles of the LIM Domain Proteins in Drosophila Cardiac and Hematopoietic Morphogenesis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Drosophila melanogaster has been used as a model organism for study on development and pathophysiology of the heart. LIM domain proteins act as adaptors or scaffolds to promote the assembly of multimeric protein complexes. We found a total of 75 proteins

Hippo pathway at the crossroads of stemness and therapeutic resistance in breast cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dysregulation of the Hippo pathway drives nuclear accumulation of YAP/TAZ, activating stemness‐related transcriptional programs that sustain breast cancer stemness and fuel therapeutic resistance across subtypes, underscoring Hippo signaling as a targetable vulnerability. Figure created and edited with BioRender.com.

Using Drosophila to study mechanisms of hereditary hearing loss

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2018
Johnston's organ – the hearing organ of Drosophila – has a very different structure and morphology to that of the hearing organs of vertebrates. Nevertheless, it is becoming clear that vertebrate and invertebrate auditory organs share many physiological,
