Dynamical modeling of syncytial mitotic cycles in Drosophila embryos
Immediately following fertilization, the fruit fly embryo undergoes 13 rapid, synchronous, syncytial nuclear division cycles driven by maternal genes and proteins. During these mitotic cycles, there are barely detectable oscillations in the total level of B-type cyclins. In this paper, we propose a dynamical model for the molecular events underlying these early nuclear division cycles in Drosop...
متن کاملA fully featured COMBINE archive of a simulation study on syncytial mitotic cycles in embryos Drosophila
COMBINE archives are standardised containers for data files related to a simulation study in computational biology. This manuscript describes a fully featured archive of a previously published simulation study, including (i) the original publication, (ii) the model, (iii) the analyses, and (iv) metadata describing the files and their origin. With the archived data at hand, it is possible to rep...
متن کاملA maternal requirement for glutamine synthetase I for the mitotic cycles of syncytial Drosophila embryos.
We describe the maternal effect phenotype of a hypomorphic mutation in the Drosophila gene for glutamine synthetase I (GSI). The extent of development of embryos derived from homozygous mutant females is variable, although most mutant embryos fail to survive past germband elongation and none develop into larvae. These embryos are characterised by an increase in the number of yolk-like nuclei fo...
متن کاملMultiscale diffusion in the mitotic Drosophila melanogaster syncytial blastoderm.
Despite the fundamental importance of diffusion for embryonic morphogen gradient formation in the early Drosophila melanogaster embryo, there remains controversy regarding both the extent and the rate of diffusion of well-characterized morphogens. Furthermore, the recent observation of diffusional "compartmentalization" has suggested that diffusion may in fact be nonideal and mediated by an as-...
متن کاملMitotic domains reveal early commitment of cells in Drosophila embryos.
In embryos of Drosophila melanogaster all the nuclei in the syncytial egg divide with global synchrony during the first 13 mitotic cycles. But with cellularization in the 14th cycle, global mitotic synchrony ceases. Starting about one hour into the 14th interphase, at least 25 'mitotic domains', which are clusters of cells united by locally synchronous mitosis, partition the embryo blastoderm s...
