Transcriptional promiscuity in testes
Numerous genes are expressed preferentially in spermatids, the haploid germ cells of the testis. Although some have defined, spermatid-specific roles, the expression and function of the products of most of these genes are not restricted to spermatids [1]. Examples include transcription factors that have defined functions elsewhere, kinases, metabolic enzymes, and so on. Recently, another group ...
متن کاملPromiscuity in post‐transcriptional control of gene expression: Drosophila sex‐lethal and its regulatory partnerships
The Drosophila RNA-binding protein Sex-lethal (Sxl) is a potent post-transcriptional regulator of gene expression that controls female development. It regulates the expression of key factors involved in sex-specific differences in morphology, behavior, and dosage compensation. Functional Sxl protein is only expressed in female flies, where it binds to U-rich RNA motifs present in its target mRN...
متن کاملOntological Promiscuity
To facilitate work in discourse interpretation, the logical form of English sentences should be both close to English and syntactically simple. In this paper i propose s logical notation which is first-order and uonintensional, sad for which semantic tnmsla-tion can be naively compositional. The key move is to expand what kinds of entities one allows in one's ontology, rather than complicating ...
متن کاملPeculiarities of piRNA-mediated post-transcriptional silencing of Stellate repeats in testes of Drosophila melanogaster
Silencing of Stellate genes in Drosophila melanogaster testes is caused by antisense piRNAs produced as a result of transcription of homologous Suppressor of Stellate (Su(Ste)) repeats. Mechanism of piRNA-dependent Stellate repression remains poorly understood. Here, we show that deletion of Su(Ste) suppressors causes accumulation of spliced, but not nonspliced Stellate transcripts both in the ...
متن کاملPromiscuity punishes sexual deviants.
Sex is good for us, but it is a compromise. For the benefit of being able to produce genetically variable offspring, we must pay the cost of passing on only half our genes to each of them. Whilst evolutionary biologists still puzzle over the precise details of why the benefits of sex so frequently seem to outweigh the costs (Neiman, Lively, & Meirmans, ), one major challenge to sexual reproduct...
