Project description:Screening for binding partners of the splicing factor SmD3 and changes in interaction upon depletion of the protein Ecdysoneless (Ecd) in the nubbin domain of third-instar larval wing imaginal discs.
Project description:In order to analyze the global changes in gene expression resulting from induction of NetA-Fra signaling, we carried out a microarray experiment comparing Drosophila third instar wing imaginal discs in which Net+Fra had been overexpressed to age matched wild type wing imaginal discs. RNA extracted from both +NetA-Fra overexpression and wildtype third instar imaginal discs were hybridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip Drosophila Genome 2.0 .
Project description:We report here the transcriptomic analysis of Drosophila melanogaster wing imaginal discs from third instar female larvae mutant for corto (cortoL1/corto420) The reference line was the w1118 genetic background of the mutant lines.
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). Comparison of CTCF binding in T1 leg disc vs T3 leg disc in from 3rd instar larva
Project description:In order to analyze the global changes in gene expression resulting from induction of NetA-Fra signaling, we carried out a microarray experiment comparing Drosophila third instar wing imaginal discs in which Net+Fra had been overexpressed to age matched wild type wing imaginal discs. RNA extracted from both +NetA-Fra overexpression and wildtype third instar imaginal discs were hybridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip Drosophila Genome 2.0 . Heat shock induced GFP-marked clones ectopically expressing NetA+Fra in larvae were generated. Controls for this study included age matched wildtype third instar wing imaginal discs bearing GFP clones which were prepared in the same manner. Total RNA was extracted from dissected +NetA-Fra vs. control third instar wing imaginal discs and hybridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip Drosophila Genome 2.0.
Project description:We report here the transcriptomic analysis of Drosophila melanogaster wing imaginal discs from third instar female larvae expressing Cyclin G deleted of the PEST domain (the 25 COOH-terminal amin-acids) under the control of the daugterless-Gal4 ubiquitous driver. The negative control was transgenic flies wearing only the daugterless-Gal4 driver.
Project description:We describe here the genome-wide binding sites of Cyclin G in Drosophila melanogaster wing imaginal discs from third instar female larvae. We used a transgenic line expressing a version Cyclin G deleted of the PEST domain (the 25 COOH-terminal amin-acids) and tagged by Myc under the control of the daugterless-Gal4 ubiquitous driver.
