Gene activation is required for developmentally programmed cell death.
The intersegmental muscles of the tobacco hawkmoth Manduca sexta die during the 36-hr period after metamorphosis. The trigger for cell death is a fall in the ecdysteroid titer. Commitment of the intersegmental muscles to degenerate involves selective repression and activation of ecdysteroid-responsive genes. When the pattern of gene expression is altered after injection of either 20-hydroxyecdy...
متن کاملIs programmed cell death required for neural tube closure?
Programmed cell death (PCD) plays an important part in animal development. It is responsible for eliminating the cells between developing digits, for example, and is involved in hollowing out solid structures to create cavities (reviewed in [1] [2]). There are many cases, however, where PCD occurs in developing tissues but its function is unknown. Important examples are seen during the folding,...
متن کاملA Conserved Core of Programmed Cell Death Indicator Genes Discriminates Developmentally and Environmentally Induced Programmed Cell Death in Plants.
A plethora of diverse programmed cell death (PCD) processes has been described in living organisms. In animals and plants, different forms of PCD play crucial roles in development, immunity, and responses to the environment. While the molecular control of some animal PCD forms such as apoptosis is known in great detail, we still know comparatively little about the regulation of the diverse type...
متن کاملVIB-1 is required for expression of genes necessary for programmed cell death in Neurospora crassa.
Nonself recognition during somatic growth is an essential and ubiquitous phenomenon in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic species. In filamentous fungi, nonself recognition is also important during vegetative growth. Hyphal fusion between genetically dissimilar individuals results in rejection of heterokaryon formation and in programmed cell death of the fusion compartment. In filamentous fungi, s...
متن کاملTGF-β is required for programmed cell death in interdigital webs of the developing mouse limb
During limb formation massive cell death in the mesenchyme of the interdigital spaces accompanies the formation of free digits. Members of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-) superfamily were discussed to play a key role in cell-cell interactions, important in the regulation of programmed cell death (PCD). TGF-beta itself is believed to be involved in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions....
