Drosophila Serpin-28D regulates hemolymph phenoloxidase activity and adult pigmentation.
In insects the enzyme phenoloxidase (PO) catalyzes melanin deposition at the wound site and around parasitoid eggs. Its proenzyme prophenoloxidase (proPO) is proteolytically cleaved to active phenoloxidase by a cascade consisting of serine proteases and inhibited by serpins. The Drosophila genome encodes 29 serpins, of which only two, Serpin-27A (Spn27A) and Necrotic, have been analyzed in deta...
متن کاملGenetic evidence of a redox-dependent systemic wound response via Hayan protease-phenoloxidase system in Drosophila.
Systemic wound response (SWR) through intertissue communication in response to local wounds is an essential biological phenomenon that occurs in all multicellular organisms from plants to animals. However, our understanding of SWR has been greatly hampered by the complexity of wound signalling communication operating within the context of an entire organism. Here, we show genetic evidence of a ...
متن کاملDrosophila Behavior Genetics
In the early 1910s, Thomas Hunt Morgan identified the first white-eyed fly in the ‘Fly room’ at Columbia University. Then, Morgan and his three students, Sturtevant, Bridges, and Muller reported a series of fundamental concepts in the chromosomal theory of heredity, including the sex-linked inheritance of white eyes, recombination and linkage between sex-linked genes, and the first chromosome m...
متن کاملPopulation Genetics of Drosophila Amylase
Morph frequencies of three related polymorphisms were determined in ten natural populations of Drosophila pseudoobscura. They are the well-known inversion polymorphism of the third chromosome and the polymorphism for a-amylase produced by the structural gene A m y (which resides on the third chromosome). The third polymorphism was for tissue-specific expression of A m y in adult midguts; a tota...
متن کاملBehavioral genetics of Drosophila ananassae.
Drosophila ananassae has a unique status among Drosophila species because of certain peculiarities in its genetic behavior. The most unusual feature of this species is its relatively high frequency of spontaneous male recombination. The results of studies on non-sexual behavior, such as phototactic responses, eclosion rhythm, and preferences for oviposition and pupation sites, lead us to sugges...
