Project description:We report on changes in gene expression resulting from the ecdysone-directed broad-based transcriptional regulatory hierarchy in Drosophila melanogaster leg imaginal discs by comparing expression in white1118 third-instar larvae (-18 hrs relative to pupariation) and white prepupae (0 hrs) to examine the transcriptional effects of the late larval ecdysone pulse, as well comparing expression in white1118 and broad5 white prepupal leg imaginal discs to examine the transcriptional effects of the early ecdysone responder, broad. Using this approach, we were able to identify critical leg disc elongation genes that are differentially regulated in broad mutants

Project description:Although the majority of genomic binding sites for the insulator protein CTCF are constitutively occupied, a subset show variable occupancy. Such variable sites provide an opportunity to assess context-specific CTCF functions in gene regulation. Here we have identified a variably occupied CTCF site in the Ultrabithorax (Ubx) gene in Drosophila. This site is occupied in tissues where Ubx is active (third thoracic imaginal leg disc) but is not bound in tissues where the Ubx gene is repressed (first thoracic imaginal leg disc).

Project description:Along with differences in physiological and behavioral characteristics, workers and queens of Apis mellifera also differ in appendage morphology. Some appendage specializations in the hind legs of honeybee workers, which are highly specialized pollinators, deserve special attention. The hind tibia of the worker has an expanded bristle-free region used for carrying pollen and propolis, the corbicula. In queens, this structure is absent. Although these morphological differences have been well characterized, the genetic inputs triggering the development of this alternative morphology have remained unknown. Through microarray analysis, we detected 1,952 genes that are differentially expressed during worker versus queen hind leg development. The gene expression signatures of the two castes have similar patterns of genes controlling development. At the beginning of the last larval instar, Ultrabithorax (Ubx) activators are more strongly expressed than in prepupae and early pupae; at this time Ubx expression is approximately 25 times higher. Within the gene expression signature, we identified a cluster formed by genes in which Ubx, Twist and Zeste binding sites are over-represented. This cluster includes genes for which Drosophila orthologs are known to be bound by Ubx, as in the case of lola. We also tested the extent of Ubx mRNA processing during wing and leg development.

Project description:The Drosophila genitalia develop from an imaginal disc that is patterned during the larval period and undergoes morphogenesis during the pupal period. Although the genetic hierarchy that controls sexual identity in Drosophila is well characterized, the downstream genes that effect sexually dimorphic development of the genitalia are largely unknown. We used microarrays to profile gene expression in female and male genital imaginal discs at three time points during development: late third-instar larvae (L3), pupae approximately 6 hours after puparium formation (P6) and pupae approximately 20 hours after puparium formation (P20). We identified genes that are sex-differentially expressed in the developing genital disc, including three genes encoding transcription factors that are expressed in the genital disc of one sex but not the other. Through genetic analysis, we showed how the master regulator of sexual identity, Doublesex, limits expression of each of these three genes to one sex. We also determined which genital structures fail to develop properly in the absence of each of the three genes.
