Mechanisms of LTR-Retroelement Transposition: Lessons from Drosophila melanogaster
Long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons occupy a special place among all mobile genetic element families. The structure of LTR retrotransposons that have three open reading frames is identical to DNA forms of retroviruses that are integrated into the host genome. Several lines of evidence suggest that LTR retrotransposons share a common ancestry with retroviruses and thus are highly relevan...
متن کاملSleep in populations of Drosophila melanogaster Sleep in populations of Drosophila melanogaster
15 The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a diurnal insect active during the day with 16 consolidated sleep at night. Social interactions between pairs of flies have been shown to 17 affect locomotor activity patterns, but effects on locomotion and sleep patterns have not been 18 assessed for larger populations. Here, we use a commercially available Locomotor Activity 19 Monitor (LAM25H) syst...
متن کاملMolecular and pharmacological properties of insect biogenic amine receptors: lessons from Drosophila melanogaster and Apis mellifera.
In the central nervous system (CNS) of both vertebrates and invertebrates, biogenic amines are important neuroactive molecules. Physiologically, they can act as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, or neurohormones. Biogenic amines control and regulate various vital functions including circadian rhythms, endocrine secretion, cardiovascular control, emotions, as well as learning and memory. In in...
متن کاملCopper and Zinc Homeostasis: Lessons from Drosophila melanogaster
Maintenance of metal homeostasis is crucial for many different enzymatic activities and in turn for cell function and survival. In addition, cells display detoxification and protective mechanisms against toxic accumulation of metals. Perturbation of any of these processes normally leads to cellular dysfunction and finally to cell death. In the last years, loss of metal regulation has been descr...
متن کاملCircadian Rhythms and Sleep in Drosophila melanogaster.
The advantages of the model organism Drosophila melanogaster, including low genetic redundancy, functional simplicity, and the ability to conduct large-scale genetic screens, have been essential for understanding the molecular nature of circadian (∼24 hr) rhythms, and continue to be valuable in discovering novel regulators of circadian rhythms and sleep. In this review, we discuss the current u...
