MAPs and motors in insect ovaries.
نویسندگان
چکیده
MAPs and microtubule motor proteins from the massive microtubule translocation complexes within the ovaries of hemipteran insects have been identified and characterized. Both classes of proteins have been compared with those of other systems, and the function of both in the insect ovaries is speculated upon.

Unlike in Drosophila Meroistic Ovaries, Hippo Represses Notch in Blattella germanica Panoistic Ovaries, Triggering the Mitosis-Endocycle Switch in the Follicular Cells
During insect oogenesis, the follicular epithelium undergoes both cell proliferation and apoptosis, thus modulating ovarian follicle growth. The Hippo pathway is key in these processes, and has been thoroughly studied in the meroistic ovaries of Drosophila melanogaster. However, nothing is known about the role of the Hippo pathway in primitive panoistic ovaries. This work examines the mRNA expr...
متن کاملEffect of the Insect Growth Regulator Fenoxycarh on the Ovaries of Queens of the Red Imported Fire Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
The insect growth regulator, fenoxycarb, ethyl [2-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)ethyl] carbamate, causes retrogression of the ovaries of mated queens of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren. Fenoxycarb completely suppresses growth of the follicular epithelium, nurse cells, and cytoplasm/yolkplasm. Most developing eggs are resorbed and no new workers are produced. Thus, prolonged exposure of ...

متن کامل04-P011 Oocyte patterning in non-model insects: Creating transcriptomes of the ovaries and embryos of two insect species using 454 sequencing
The body axes of many animals are initially patterned by the asymmetric distribution of maternal mRNAs and proteins in the oocyte. In Drosophila, these maternal factors are synthesized by the 15 nurse cells that connect to each oocyte within the ovary. However, insect ovaries fall into three anatomical categories, of which Drosophila represents only one. The telotrophic meroistic ovaries of the...
متن کاملCrosstalk of EGFR signalling with Notch and Hippo pathways to regulate cell specification, migration and proliferation in cockroach panoistic ovaries.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signalling is crucial for the regulation of multiple developmental processes. Its function in relation to insect oogenesis has been thoroughly studied in the fly Drosophila melanogaster, which possesses ovaries of the highly modified meroistic type. Conversely, studies in other insect species with different ovary types are scarce. W...
