The Octopamine Receptor Octβ2R Regulates Ovulation in Drosophila melanogaster
Oviposition is induced upon mating in most insects. Ovulation is a primary step in oviposition, representing an important target to control insect pests and vectors, but limited information is available on the underlying mechanism. Here we report that the beta adrenergic-like octopamine receptor Octβ2R serves as a key signaling molecule for ovulation and recruits protein kinase A and Ca(2+)/cal...
متن کاملA requirement for the neuromodulators octopamine and tyramine in Drosophila melanogaster female sperm storage.
Female sperm storage is common among organisms with internal fertilization. It is important for extended fertility and, in cases of multiple mating, for sperm competition. The physiological mechanisms by which females store and manage stored sperm are poorly understood. Here, we report that the biogenic amines tyramine (TA) and octopamine (OA) in Drosophila melanogaster females play essential r...
متن کاملModels of infectious diseases in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.
We examined the immune response of a fly as physicians might, by looking at the genesis of diseases caused by microorganisms. Fly infections are complex and there are few simple rules that can predict how an infected fly might fare. As we observed the finer details of the infections, we found that almost every microbe caused a different type of pathology in the fly. Two pattern recognition path...
متن کاملModafinil maintains waking in the fruit fly drosophila melanogaster.
Fruit flies exhibit a sleep-like rest state that shares behavioral characteristics with mammalian sleep, including a homeostatic increase in rest after deprivation by mechanical methods. We tested the effect of modafinil, a novel wake-promoting agent, to discover whether its effect is conserved. Flies fed various concentrations of modafinil were compared to groups of control flies fed diluent o...
متن کاملGenetics of aging in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster.
Research into the mechanisms underlying the process of aging is emerging as an exciting area of biomedical research. Observations challenging the fundamental assumptions of aging have begun to rejuvenate the field, opening up aging research to fresh ideas and approaches. Genetic approaches, which have been successfully used to understand other complex biological phenomena, are beginning to reve...
