Drosophila development: A prepattern for sensory organs
The bristles and wing veins of Drosophila are ideal for studying the generation of spatial patterns. Sensory bristles occupy stereotyped positions of importance to the animal, as the neuronal specificity of bristles depends upon the site in the epithelium at which they are born. The thoracic bristle pattern has been conserved throughout the 2000 or more species of this genus and is well over 50...
متن کاملApoptosis Ensures Spacing Pattern Formation of Drosophila Sensory Organs
BACKGROUND In both vertebrates and invertebrates, developing organs and tissues must be precisely patterned. One patterning mechanism is Notch/Delta-mediated lateral inhibition. Through the process of lateral inhibition, Drosophila sensory organ precursors (SOPs) are selected and sensory bristles form into a regular pattern. SOP cell fate is determined by high Delta expression and following exp...
متن کاملDrosophila segmentation: supercomputer simulation of prepattern hierarchy.
Spontaneous prepattern formation in a two level hierarchy of reaction-diffusion systems is simulated in three space co-ordinates and time, mimicking gap gene and primary pair-rule gene expression. The model rests on the idea of Turing systems of the second kind, in which one prepattern generates position dependent rate constants for a subsequent reaction-diffusion system. Maternal genes are ass...
متن کاملA tissue specific cytochrome P450 required for the structure and function of Drosophila sensory organs
Cytochrome P450s have generally been acknowledged as broadly tuned detoxifying enzymes. However, emerging evidence argues P450s have an integral role in cell signaling and developmental processes, via their metabolism of retinoic acid, arachidonic acid, steroids, and other cellular ligands. To study the morphogenesis of Drosophila sensory organs, we examined mutants with impaired mechanosensati...
متن کاملDevelopment of gustatory organs and innervating sensory ganglia.
Taste function requires neural circuits to transmit gustatory information from taste receptor cells in taste buds, via afferent nerves to the soma of ganglion neurons, and through central ganglion processes into the brainstem. During initial formation, the sensory ganglion neurons have a key situation in establishing receptive fields by extending neurites bidirectionally, to the peripheral tast...
