Supplementary Text 1: Regulatory interactions between the primary pair-rule genes during cellularisation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This supplementary document concerns the cross-regulatory interactions between the five primary pair-rule genes (hairy, eve, runt, ftz, and odd) during cellularisation. Looking at each gene in turn, I examine the evidence for its expression being directly regulated by the other primary pair-rule factors. The conclusions form the basis for the topology of the “early” pairrule network presented in Fig 1A of the main text.

Dynamic patterning by the Drosophila pair-rule network reconciles long-germ and short-germ segmentation
Drosophila segmentation is a well-established paradigm for developmental pattern formation. However, the later stages of segment patterning, regulated by the "pair-rule" genes, are still not well understood at the system level. Building on established genetic interactions, I construct a logical model of the Drosophila pair-rule system that takes into account the demonstrated stage-specific arch...
متن کاملOdd-paired controls frequency doubling in Drosophila segmentation by altering the pair-rule gene regulatory network
The Drosophila embryo transiently exhibits a double-segment periodicity, defined by the expression of seven 'pair-rule' genes, each in a pattern of seven stripes. At gastrulation, interactions between the pair-rule genes lead to frequency doubling and the patterning of 14 parasegment boundaries. In contrast to earlier stages of Drosophila anteroposterior patterning, this transition is not well ...
متن کاملA two-step mode of stripe formation in the Drosophila blastoderm requires interactions among primary pair rule genes.
The stripe pattern of pair rule gene expression along the anterior-posterior axis of the Drosophila blastoderm embryo represents the first sign of periodicity during the process of segmentation. Striped gene expression can be mediated by distinct cis-acting elements that give rise to individual stripe expression domains in direct response to maternal and first zygotic factors. Here we show that...
متن کاملPair-rule expression of the Drosophila fushi tarazu gene: a nuclear receptor response element mediates the opposing regulatory effects of runt and hairy.
The segmentation genes runt and hairy are required for the proper transcriptional regulation of the pair-rule gene fushi tarazu during the blastoderm stage of Drosophila embryogenesis. The expression of different fushi tarazu reporter genes was examined in runt and hairy mutant embryos, as well as in runt over-expressing embryos in order to identify DNA elements responsible for mediating these ...
متن کاملStructure and evolution of a pair-rule interaction element: runt regulatory sequences in D. melanogaster and D. virilis
Pair-rule genes serve two important functions during Drosophila development: they first initiate periodic patterns, and subsequently interact with each other to refine these patterns to the precision required for definition of segmental compartments. Previously, we described a pair-rule input region of the runt gene. Here we further characterize this region through the use of reporter gene cons...
