8-miR cluster deletion affects mef2 levels in Drosophila melanogaster
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Loss of nautilus (MyoD) gene function results in a variable phenotype affecting muscle formation in embryos and larvae, larval movement, pupal eclosion, egg deposition, adult mobility and survival. 8-miR cluster deletion disrupts muscle formation in the embryo while affecting protein production from the nautilus, dMef2 , regulators of the muscle transcriptional network. We propose the complex phenotype in the nautilus null is due to the disruption of the regulatory interactions provided by the 8-miR cluster. The results demonstrate that nautilus is an integral regulator of the miRNA circuitry buffering the transcriptional network directing muscle development.
