Steroid regulated programmed cell death during Drosophila metamorphosis.
During insect metamorphosis, pulses of the steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (ecdysone) direct the destruction of obsolete larval tissues and their replacement by tissues and structures that form the adult fly. We show here that larval midgut and salivary gland histolysis are stage-specific steroid-triggered programmed cell death responses. Dying larval midgut and salivary gland cell nuclei be...
متن کاملDNA replication in salivary gland nuclei of Drosophila melanogaster at successive larval and prepupal stages.
relative DNA values of polytene nuclei of salivary glands of individual '?successive stages of the third larval instar and prepupal periods of a wildtype strain of Drosophila melanogmter have been determined by cytospectrophotometry. These data describe the values and distribution of polyteny throughout those stages, and define the period in which the final polytenic replication occurs. This in...
متن کاملThe Drosophila fork head factor directly controls larval salivary gland-specific expression of the glue protein gene Sgs3.
The Drosophila Fork head protein participates in salivary gland formation, since salivary glands are missing in fork head embryos. Here we show that the fork head encoded protein binds to an upstream regulatory region of the larval salivary gland glue protein gene Sgs3. Mobility shift assay in the presence of an anti-Fork head antibody demonstrated that the Fork head factor interacts with the T...
متن کاملChromosome puff activity and protein synthesis in larval salivary glands of Drosophila melanogaster.
Secretion proteins from larval salivary glands of Drosophila melanogaster were analyzed with acrylamide gel electrophoresis. Four fractions were found; three showed electrophoretic variants in different wild-type stocks. Crossbreeding and cytogenetic techniques were used to localize the genes responsible for the two main fractions: The gene for fraction 3 was found to lie within a segment of th...
متن کاملMutants for Drosophila Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 3b Are Defective in Mitochondrial Function and Larval Cell Death
The death of larval salivary gland cells during metamorphosis in Drosophila melanogaster has been a key system for studying steroid controlled programmed cell death. This death is induced by a pulse of the steroid hormone ecdysone that takes place at the end of the prepupal period. For many years, it has been thought that the ecdysone direct response gene Eip93F (E93) plays a critical role in i...
