Octopamine in Male Aggression of Drosophila
BACKGROUND In mammals and humans, noradrenaline is a key modulator of aggression. Octopamine, a closely related biogenic amine, has been proposed to have a similar function in arthropods. However, the effect of octopamine on aggressive behavior is little understood. RESULTS An automated video analysis of aggression in male Drosophila has been developed, rendering aggression accessible to high...
متن کاملWolbachia Influences the Production of Octopamine and Affects Drosophila Male Aggression.
Wolbachia bacteria are endosymbionts that infect approximately 40% of all insect species and are best known for their ability to manipulate host reproductive systems. Though the effect Wolbachia infection has on somatic tissues is less well understood, when present in cells of the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, Wolbachia exerts an influence over behaviors related to olfaction. Here, we sh...
متن کاملFly Fighting: Octopamine Modulates Aggression
The genetics and neurobiology of Drosophila aggression are still poorly understood. A new study using an automated method to analyze one component of male fly aggression has shown that the biogenic amine octopamine plays a role in the modulation of aggressive behavior.
متن کاملRegulation of aggression by obesity-linked genes TfAP-2 and Twz through octopamine signaling in Drosophila.
In Drosophila, the monoamine octopamine, through mechanisms that are not completely understood, regulates both aggression and mating behavior. Interestingly, our study demonstrates that the Drosophila obesity-linked homologs Transcription factor AP-2 (TfAP-2; TFAP2B in humans) and Tiwaz (Twz; KCTD15 in humans) interact to modify male behavior by controlling the expression of Tyramine β-hydroxyl...

In Drosophila the monoamine octopamine, through mechanisms that are not completely resolved, regulates both aggression and mating behaviour. Interestingly, our study demonstrates that the Drosophila obesity-linked homologues Transcription factor AP-2 (TfAP-2, TFAP2B in humans) and Tiwaz (Twz, KCTD15 in humans) interact to modify male behaviour by controlling the expression of Tyramine -hydroxy...
