Drosophila oogenesis: Coordinating germ line and soma
A new function for Delta-Notch signaling has been discovered in Drosophila oogenesis: Delta expressed in the germ cells activates Notch in the surrounding somatic follicle cells to control their differentiation, proliferation and morphogenesis.
متن کاملEvolution of the germ line-soma relationship in vertebrate embryos.
The germ line and soma together maintain genetic lineages from generation to generation: the germ line passes genetic information between generations; the soma is the vehicle for germ line transmission, and is shaped by natural selection. The germ line and somatic lineages arise simultaneously in early embryos, but how their development is related depends on how primordial germ cells (PGC) are ...
متن کاملEncore, a gene required for the regulation of germ line mitosis and oocyte differentiation during Drosophila oogenesis.
During Drosophila oogenesis, a stem cell daughter undergoes precisely four rounds of mitosis to generate a cyst of 16 cells interconnected by cytoplasmic bridges. One of the cells becomes the oocyte while the remaining 15 cells differentiate as nurse cells. We hve identified a gene, encore, that is involved both in regulating the number of germline mitoses and in the process of oocyte different...

cytoplasmic tail and prevents their internalization and degradation. Similarly to β-catenin, unbound p120ctn can translocate to the nucleus where it binds Kaiso, a zinc finger transcription factor that acts as a transcriptional repressor. Once bound to Kaiso, p120ctn relieves the repressor activity of Kaiso by dissociating it from its sequence-specific binding sites. As with β-catenin, Wnt sign...
متن کاملGerm Plasm: Protein Degradation in the Soma
Germ plasm is a specialized cytoplasm that is physically segregated to the germline cells during early embryogenesis. Recent results suggest that, in Caenorhabditis elegans, germ plasm is also prevented from accumulating in somatic lineages by a ubiquitin ligase that targets germ plasm proteins for degradation.
