17-P002 Brat represses BMP signalling to promote and maintain Drosophila germline stem cell differentiation
A common feature of early vertebrate embryos is that they are surrounded by a simple protective epithelial cell layer. However, it is currently not well understood how the differentiation of this epithelium is controlled. We present data showing that BMP4 is sufficient to promote differentiation of this epithelium in diverse vertebrates. In mouse embryos the outer epithelium forms the trophecto...
متن کاملSnai1 represses Nanog to promote embryonic stem cell differentiation
Embryonic stem cell (ESC) self-renewal and pluripotency is maintained by an external signaling pathways and intrinsic regulatory networks involving ESC-specific transcriptional complexes (mainly formed by OCT3/4, Sox2 and Nanog proteins), the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) and DNA methylation [1-8]. Among these, Nanog represents the more ESC specific factor and its repression correlates w...
متن کاملBrat Promotes Stem Cell Differentiation via Control of a Bistable Switch that Restricts BMP Signaling
Drosophila ovarian germline stem cells (GSCs) are maintained by Dpp signaling and the Pumilio (Pum) and Nanos (Nos) translational repressors. Upon division, Dpp signaling is extinguished, and Nos is downregulated in one daughter cell, causing it to switch to a differentiating cystoblast (CB). However, downstream effectors of Pum-Nos remain unknown, and how CBs lose their responsiveness to Dpp i...
متن کاملThree RNA Binding Proteins Form a Complex to Promote Differentiation of Germline Stem Cell Lineage in Drosophila
In regenerative tissues, one of the strategies to protect stem cells from genetic aberrations, potentially caused by frequent cell division, is to transiently expand the stem cell daughters before further differentiation. However, failure to exit the transit amplification may lead to overgrowth, and the molecular mechanism governing this regulation remains vague. In a Drosophila mutagenesis scr...
متن کاملMei-P26 regulates the maintenance of ovarian germline stem cells by promoting BMP signaling.
In the Drosophila ovary, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) ligands maintain germline stem cells (GSCs) in an undifferentiated state. The activation of the BMP pathway within GSCs results in the transcriptional repression of the differentiation factor bag of marbles (bam). The Nanos-Pumilio translational repressor complex and the miRNA pathway also help to promote GSC self-renewal. How the activi...
