Differential expression of the Drosophila zinc finger gene jim in the follicular epithelium
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Drosophila gene jim was identified by an enhancer trap line showing asymmetric dorso-ventral expression in the follicular epithelium. It gives rise to the jim-1 and jim-2 transcripts that contain distinct 5'-UTRs but encode the same nine C(2)H(2) zinc finger protein. From stage 10A onward, jim-1 RNA is transcribed in squamous cells while jim-2 RNA is specific to all non-antero-dorsal columnar cells as the result of repression in antero-dorsal cells by the DER pathway.

Aims: One of the causes of infertility in men is the azoospermia disease, which is attributed to the lack of sperm in each sperm. The primary function of spermatogenesis is the maintenance, proliferation, and differentiation of spermatogonial cells. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the changes in Promyelocytic Leukemia Zinc Finger (PLZF) and spermatid Transition Nuclear Protein (TNP...

The objective of this research is to identify Arabidopsis thaliana genes encoding acid phosphatases induced by phosphate starvation. Multiple alignments of eukaryotic acid phosphatase amino acid sequences led to the classification of these proteins into four groups including purple acid phosphatases (PAPs). Specific primers were degenerated and designed based on conserved sequences of PAPs isol...
متن کاملDifferential Gene-Expression of Metallothionein 1M and 1G in Response to Zinc in Sertoli TM4 Cells
Background: Zinc (Zn) as an important trace element is essential for testicular development and spermatogenesis. Molecular mechanism of Zn action in the reproductive system may be related to metal binding low-molecular weight proteins, metallothioneins (MT). Our objective was to determine the effect of Zn on two important isoforms of MT, MT1M and MT1G genes expression on testicular sertoli cell...
متن کاملThe Drosophila zinc finger transcription factor CF2 is a myogenic marker downstream of MEF2 during muscle development
The Drosophila C(2)-H(2)-type zinc-finger transcription factor CF2 has been shown to regulate follicular cell fate determination during oogenesis. Here we show that CF2 is also expressed in the developing muscles of the embryo where it first appears at stage 12 at the time of skeletal myoblast fusion. Later it is expressed in all muscle lineages including skeletal, visceral and cardiac. Epistat...
متن کاملDrumstick is a zinc finger protein that antagonizes Lines to control patterning and morphogenesis of the Drosophila hindgut.
Elongation of the Drosophila embryonic hindgut epithelium occurs by a process of oriented cell rearrangement requiring the genes drumstick (drm) and lines (lin). The elongating hindgut becomes subdivided into domains -- small intestine, large intestine and rectum -- each characterized by a specific pattern of gene expression dependent upon normal drm and lin function. We show that drm encodes a...
