bantam Encodes a Developmentally Regulated microRNA that Controls Cell Proliferation and Regulates the Proapoptotic Gene hid in Drosophila
Cell proliferation, cell death, and pattern formation are coordinated in animal development. Although many proteins that control cell proliferation and apoptosis have been identified, the means by which these effectors are linked to the patterning machinery remain poorly understood. Here, we report that the bantam gene of Drosophila encodes a 21 nucleotide microRNA that promotes tissue growth. ...
متن کاملThe Hippo Pathway Regulates the bantam microRNA to Control Cell Proliferation and Apoptosis in Drosophila
The Hippo signaling pathway acts upon the Yorkie transcriptional activator to control tissue growth in Drosophila. Activated Yorkie drives growth by stimulating cell proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis, but how it achieves this is not understood. Yorkie is known to activate Cyclin E (CycE) and the apoptosis inhibitor DIAP1. However, overexpression of these targets is not sufficient to cause ...
متن کاملThe bantam gene regulates Drosophila growth.
We report here the consequences of mutations of a novel locus, named bantam, whose product is involved in the regulation of growth in Drosophila. bantam mutant animals are smaller than wild type, due to a reduction in cell number but not cell size, and do not have significant disruptions in patterning. Conversely, overexpression of the bantam product using the EP element EP(3)3622 causes overgr...
متن کاملThe argos gene encodes a diffusible factor that regulates cell fate decisions in the Drosophila eye.
The argos gene encodes a protein that is required for viability and that regulates the determination of cells in the Drosophila eye. A developmental analysis of argos mutant eyes indicates that the mystery cells, which are usually nonneuronal, are transformed into extra photoreceptors, and that supernumerary cone cells and pigment cells are also recruited. Clonal analysis indicates that argos a...
متن کاملThe tracheae defective gene encodes a bZIP protein that controls tracheal cell movement during Drosophila embryogenesis.
The tracheae defective (tdf) gene is required for the formation of the tracheal system during Drosophila embryogenesis. It encodes a putative bZIP transcription factor (TDF). Antibodies directed against TDF detect a nuclear protein in all tracheal cells before invagination and throughout tracheal system morphogenesis. Examination of tdf mutants revealed that tdf activity is not necessary for de...
