Genetic evidence for a protein kinase A/cubitus interruptus complex that facilitates processing of cubitus interruptus in Drosophila.
Hedgehog (Hh) activates a signal transduction pathway regulating Cubitus interruptus (Ci). In the absence of Hh, full-length Ci (Ci-155) is bound in a complex that includes Costal2 (Cos2) and Fused (Fu). Ci-155 is phosphorylated by protein kinase A (PKA), inducing proteolysis to Ci-75, a transcriptional repressor. Hh signaling blocks proteolysis and produces an activated Ci-155 transcriptional ...
متن کاملCubitus interruptus-independent transduction of the Hedgehog signal in Drosophila.
The Hedgehog (Hh) family of secreted proteins are key factors that control pattern formation in invertebrates and vertebrates. The manner in which Hh molecules regulate a target cell remains poorly understood. In the Drosophila embryo, Hh is produced in identical stripes of cells in the posterior compartment of each segment. From these cells a Hh signal acts in both anterior and posterior direc...
متن کاملAn absolute requirement for Cubitus interruptus in Hedgehog signaling.
Hedgehog (Hh) proteins play diverse organizing roles in animal development by regulating gene expression in responding cells. Several components of the Hh signal transduction pathway have been identified, yet their precise role in mediating the various outputs of the pathway is still poorly understood. The Gli homolog Cubitus interruptus (Ci) is involved in controlling the transcription of Dros...
متن کاملDrosophila ciD encodes a hybrid Pangolin/Cubitus interruptus protein that diverts the Wingless into the Hedgehog signaling pathway
The Hedgehog (Hh) and Wingless (Wg) signaling pathways play important roles in animal development. The activities of the two pathways depend on each other during Drosophila embryogenesis. In the embryonic segment, Wg is required in anterior cells to sustain Hh secretion in adjacent posterior cells. Hh input in turn is necessary for anterior cells to maintain wg expression. The Hh and Wg pathway...

Bretz, Colin A. GENETIC DISSECTION OF Dh31 SIGNALING IN DROSOPHILA Thesis under the direction of Erik C. Johnson, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Biology Dh31, which is homologous to the mammalian Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide, is a multifunctional neuropeptide in Drosophila. To evaluate the roles of Dh31 signaling in Drosophila, we took advantage of the KG09001 line because it has a transposab...
