The impact of FOXO on dopamine and octopamine metabolism in Drosophila under normal and heat stress conditions
The forkhead boxO transcription factor (FOXO) is a component of the insulin signalling pathway and plays a role in responding to adverse conditions, such as oxidative stress and starvation. In stressful conditions, FOXO moves from the cytosol to the nucleus where it activates gene expression programmes. Here, we show that FOXO in Drosophila melanogaster responds to heat stress as it does to oth...
متن کاملDopamine counteracts octopamine signalling in a neural circuit mediating food response in C. elegans.
Animals assess food availability in their environment by sensory perception and respond to the absence of food by changing hormone and neurotransmitter signals. However, it is largely unknown how the absence of food is perceived at the level of functional neurocircuitry. In Caenorhabditis elegans, octopamine is released from the RIC neurons in the absence of food and activates the cyclic AMP re...
متن کاملRegulation of aggression by obesity - linked genes TfAP - 2 and Twz through octopamine signalling in Drosophila
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...
متن کاملAnalysis of Neurotransmitter Tissue Content of Drosophila melanogaster in Different Life Stages
Drosophila melanogaster is a widely used model organism for studying neurological diseases with similar neurotransmission to mammals. While both larva and adult Drosophila have central nervous systems, not much is known about how neurotransmitter tissue content changes through development. In this study, we quantified tyramine, serotonin, octopamine, and dopamine in larval, pupal, and adult fly...
متن کاملA Neurogenetic Dissociation between Punishment-, Reward-, and Relief-Learning in Drosophila
What is particularly worth remembering about a traumatic experience is what brought it about, and what made it cease. For example, fruit flies avoid an odor which during training had preceded electric shock punishment; on the other hand, if the odor had followed shock during training, it is later on approached as a signal for the relieving end of shock. We provide a neurogenetic analysis of suc...
