Runt repression

Ftz modulates Runt-dependent activation and repression of segment-polarity gene transcription.

A crucial step in generating the segmented body plan in Drosophila is establishing stripes of expression of several key segment-polarity genes, one stripe for each parasegment, in the blastoderm stage embryo. It is well established that these patterns are generated in response to regulation by the transcription factors encoded by the pair-rule segmentation genes. However, the full set of positi...

Colonic manifestations of runt disease.

In view of the severe wasting and diarrhea in animals with runt disease, it is remarkable how little the intestinal tract of these animals has been studied. Observers have noted in the small bowel atrophy of Peyer's patches,"' slightly increased numbers of leucocytes in the mucosa`' and clubbing and bridging of villi in the ileum.' Thymectomized rats with runt disease have developed ulceration ...

Drosophila hedgehog signaling and engrailed-runt mutual repression direct midline glia to alternative ensheathing and non-ensheathing fates.

The Drosophila CNS contains a variety of glia, including highly specialized glia that reside at the CNS midline and functionally resemble the midline floor plate glia of the vertebrate spinal cord. Both insect and vertebrate midline glia play important roles in ensheathing axons that cross the midline and secreting signals that control a variety of developmental processes. The Drosophila midlin...
