High impact information on Drosophila

  • Myb genes have been identified in a broad range of species, including vertebrates, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and the plant Zea mays [4].
  • Homologs of the myc and max genes were cloned from the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and their protein products (dMyc and dMax) were shown to heterodimerize, recognize the same DNA sequence as their vertebrate homologs, and activate transcription [5].
  • The products of the Drosophila segment polarity gene armadillo and its vertebrate homologue beta-catenin are components of the signal transduction pathway for Wingless/Wnt-1; this signal regulates cell-fate choices in embryos of the fruit fly Drosophila and vertebrates [6].
  • Recent studies in the fruit-fly Drosophila melanogaster show how protein complexes that bind to 'GAGA' DNA elements can replace nucleosomes to create a local chromatin environment that facilitates a variety of site-specific regulatory responses [7].
  • Recent studies in rodents and in the fruit fly Drosophila have shown that the activity of the UPS is involved in axonal degeneration [8].
