Specific expression of the Drosophilamidline-jumper retro-transposon in embryonic CNS midline cells
Here we describe of a novel Drosophila LTR-type retrotransposon that is expressed in the embryonic CNS midline glia and in the embryonic germ cells. The element is related to the gypsy and burdock retrotransposons and was termed midline-jumper. In addition to cDNA clones generated from internal retrotransposon sequences, we have identified one cDNA clone that appears to reflect a transposition ...
متن کاملGene expression profiling of the developing Drosophila CNS midline cells.
The Drosophila CNS midline cells constitute a specialized set of interneurons, motorneurons, and glia. The utility of the CNS midline cells as a neurogenomic system to study CNS development derives from the ability to easily identify CNS midline-expressed genes. For this study, we used a variety of sources to identify 281 putative midline-expressed genes, including enhancer trap lines, microarr...
متن کاملControl of midline glia development in the embryonic Drosophila CNS
The midline glial cells are required for correct formation of the axonal pattern in the embryonic ventral nerve cord of Drosophila. Initially, six midline cells form an equivalence group with the capacity to develop as glial cells. By the end of embryonic development three to four cells are singled out as midline glial cells. Midline glia development occurs in two steps, both of which depend on...
متن کاملCNS midline to mesoderm signaling in Drosophila
The dorsal median cells are unique mesodermal cells that reside on the surface of the ventral nerve cord in the Drosophila embryo. The Buttonless homeodomain protein is specifically expressed in these cells and is required for their differentiation. We have determined that proper buttonless gene expression and dorsal median cell differentiation requires signals from underlying CNS midline cells...
متن کاملSingle-cell mapping of neural and glial gene expression in the developing Drosophila CNS midline cells.
Understanding the generation of neuronal and glial diversity is one of the major goals of developmental neuroscience. The Drosophila CNS midline cells constitute a simple neurogenomic system to study neurogenesis, cell fate acquisition, and neuronal function. Previously, we identified and determined the developmental expression profiles of 224 midline-expressed genes. Here, the expression of 59...
