Apoptotic Cell Clearance in Drosophila melanogaster
The swift clearance of apoptotic cells (ACs) (efferocytosis) by phagocytes is a critical event during development of all multicellular organisms. It is achieved through phagocytosis by professional or amateur phagocytes. Failure in this process can lead to the development of inflammatory autoimmune or neurodegenerative diseases. AC clearance has been conserved throughout evolution, although man...
متن کاملRegulation of gene expression is preserved in aging Drosophila melanogaster
Aging, and the deterioration of biological performance that characterizes it, are routinely assumed to be due to a progressive global loss of homeostasis and a general increase in dysregulation [1-4] . We tested this hypothesis directly by measuring age-specific variability in gene expression. Analysis of the transcriptional activity of six genes in various inbred lines of Drosophila melanogast...
متن کاملRegulation of ribosomal RNA gene multiplicity in Drosophila melanogaster.
The ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes of Drosophila melanogaster can undergo a disproportionate replication of their number. This occurs when the cluster of rRNA genes (rDNA) of one chromosome is maintained with a homologous chromosome that is completely or partially deficient in its rDNA. Under appropriate genetic conditions, it appears that disproportionate rDNA replication can be generated at the l...
متن کاملInteractions of DNR1 with the apoptotic machinery of Drosophila melanogaster.
Caspases are crucial activators of apoptosis and NF-kappaB signaling in vertebrates and invertebrates. In Drosophila, the caspase-9 counterpart Dronc is essential for most apoptotic death, whereas the caspase-8 homolog Dredd activates NF-kappaB signaling in response to gram-negative bacterial infection. The mechanics of caspase regulation are conserved and include the activities of a family of ...
متن کاملRegulation of the gene Sex-lethal: a comparative analysis of Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila subobscura.
The Drosophila gene Sex-lethal (Sxl) controls the processes of sex determination and dosage compensation. A Drosophila subobscura genomic fragment containing all the exons and the late and early promotors in the Sxl gene of D. melanogaster was isolated. Early Sxl expression in D. subobscura seems to be controlled at the transcriptional level, possibly by the X:A signal. In the region upstream o...
