Genetic Control of -Cell Mass Homeostasis
Control of -cell function and mass is tightly linked to glucose homeostasis. Failing -cells inevitably lead to diabetes. Recently, several contradictory studies have been published arguing against or in favor of various mechanisms controlling -cell mass regulation. Here we review the literature on control of adult -cell mass and aim to reconcile thereby the contradictions. We discuss the role o...
متن کاملGenetic Homeostasis and Developmental Rate in Tribolium.
ENETIC analysis of a variety of traits in populations of several species has revealed a similar pattern for many traits which are important components of fitness. In general such characters have intermediate optima, and prolonged artificial selection for extreme expression leads to a reduction in fitness. LERNER (1954, 1958) has postulated that one possible mechanism for natural selection in fa...
متن کاملGenetic Models for Developmental Homeostasis: Historical Perspectives
Three major models have appeared in the literature for the genetic mechanisms giving developmental homeostasis. A model based on the contributions of James F. Crow and Herman J. Muller states that Darwinian fitness (which includes developmental homeostasis) results primarily from the additive action of dominant alleles at various chromosomal loci. According to the Crow-Muller model overdominanc...
متن کاملGenetic Bypass of Aspergillus nidulans crzA Function in Calcium Homeostasis
After dephosphorylation by the phosphatase calcineurin, the fungal transcription factor CrzA enters the nucleus and activates the transcription of genes responsible for calcium homeostasis and many other calcium-regulated activities. A lack of CrzA confers calcium-sensitivity to the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans. To further understand calcium signaling in filamentous fungi and to iden...
متن کاملGenetic regulation of cholesterol homeostasis: chromosomal organization of candidate genes.
As part of an effort to dissect the genetic factors involved in cholesterol homeostasis in the mouse model, we report the mapping of 12 new candidate genes using linkage analysis. The genes include: cytoplasmic HMG-CoA synthase (Hmgcs 1, Chr 13), mitochondrial synthase (Hmgcs 2, Chr 3), a synthase-related sequence (Hmgcs 1-rs, Chr 12), mevalonate kinase (Mvk, Chr 5), farnesyl diphosphate syntha...
