概括
背 (Hb) 蛋白质可以在果中建立胸部段,即使没有双体 (Bcd) 蛋白质. 这表明Hb可能在胚胎模式中发挥了古老的作用,早于BCd.
科学领域:
- 发展生物学 发展生物学
- 进化遗传学 进化遗传学
- 分子生物学分子生物学
背景情况:
- 双体 (Bcd) 是Drosophila前后模式的关键母体形态原体.
- 双基因在的进化过程中相对较新,这引发了关于祖先模式机制的疑问.
- 背 (Hb) 是一种已知在腹部模式中作为形态原体起作用的保存蛋白质.
研究的目的:
- 为了调查背 (Hb) 是否可以在胚胎模式中执行双体 (Bcd) 的功能.
- 探索Hb在建立前胚胎结构中的潜在祖先作用.
主要方法:
- 重建了一个拟议的古老的调节电路,其中母体Hb控制着胚胎驼的表达.
- 评估了Hb在没有BCd的情况下形成胸部段的能力.
主要成果:
- 孕产妇驼背 (Hb) 足以建立胸部段.
- 这种情况甚至发生在完全没有双体 (Bcd) 活性的情况下.
- 证明了Hb在前面模式中的功能冗余性和潜在的祖先作用.
结论:
- 背 (Hb) 可以充当形态原体,以指定前部结构,如胸部段.
- 这一发现支持了Hb在BCd.进化之前在胚胎模式中发挥作用的假设.
- 表明一种更古老的机制来确定前后轴的确定.

Polytene Chromosomes
Polytene chromosomes are giant interphase chromosomes with several DNA strands placed side by side. They were discovered in the year 1881 by Balbiani in salivary glands, intestine, muscles, malpighian tubules, and hypoderm of larvae Chironomus plumosus. Hence, these are also called "Salivary gland chromosomes." These are found in insects of the order Diptera and Collembola; in certain organs of mammals; and synergids, antipodes of flowering plants. Polytene chromosomes are also regularly...
The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes
In most organisms, sex is determined by the ratio of X and Y chromosomes. However, in some organisms, such as Drosophila and C.elegans, sex is determined by the ratio of the number of X chromosomes to the number of sets of autosomes. The Y chromosome in Drosophila is active but does not determine sex. It contains genes responsible for the production of sperms in adult flies.
Normal male Drosophila has a ratio of one X chromosome to two sets of autosomes. In contrast, normal female Drosophila...
