Cell shape and interaction defects in alpha-spectrin mutants of Drosophila melanogaster
We show that the alpha-spectrin gene is essential for larval survival and development by characterizing several alpha-spectrin mutations in Drosophila. P-element minigene rescue and sequence analysis were used to identify the alpha-spectrin gene as the l(3)dre3 complementation group of the Dras-Roughened-ecdysoneless region of chromosome 3 (Sliter et al., 1988). Germ line transformants carrying...
متن کاملNeurophysiological defects in temperature-sensitive paralytic mutants of Drosophila melanogaster.
A new temperature-sensitive paralytic mutant of Drosophila, comatose, is compared behaviorally and physiologically with the previously known types, para and shi. All three have different properties with respect to kinetics of paralysis at high temperature and recovery from paralysis; com is hypersensitive to paralysis by cooling. Neurophysiological experimeents indicate different mechanisms for...
متن کاملCell affinities in antennal homoeotic mutants of Drosophila melanogaster.
DISSOCIATED embryonic cells show, in culture, cell affinities and morphogenetic movements which are tissue characteristic. While cells which derive from the same organ and tissue are able to reconstitute the original cell arrangements in mosaic fashion, cells from different organs sort out and regroup separately. This situation holds for vertebrate cells as well as for cells of many other lower...
متن کاملRab11 is required for maintenance of cell shape via βPS integrin mediated cell adhesion in Drosophila
In eukaryotes, vesicle trafficking is regulated by the small monomeric GTPases of the Rab protein family. Rab11, (a subfamily of the Ypt/Rab gene family) an evolutionarily conserved, ubiquitously expressed subfamily of small monomeric Rab GTPases, has been implicated in regulating vesicular trafficking through the recycling of endosomal compartment. In an earlier communication, we have shown th...
متن کاملBehavioral and biochemical defects in temperature-sensitive acetylcholinesterase mutants of Drosophila melanogaster.
Temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of the Ace gene, which codes for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in Drosophila melanogaster, were analyzed for defects in viability, behavior and function of the enzyme. The use of heat-sensitive and cold-sensitive mutations permitted the function of AChE in the nervous system to be analyzed temporally. All ts mutations were lethal, or nearly so, when animals expr...
