概括
转录破裂动态,而不是自我调节,控制细胞命运决策在正在发育的Drosophila视网膜. 无脊柱 (Ss) 基因转录的数量和时间,而不是蛋白质反,决定了R7光受体比率.
科学领域:
- 发展生物学 发展生物学
- 基因规则 基因规则
- 细胞命运的决定
背景情况:
- 转录通常发生在爆发,但在动物发育过程中爆发动态的功能意义仍然不清楚.
- 果虫视网膜提供了一个模型系统来研究静态细胞命运决定,在R7光受体亚型的两个结果之间进行平衡.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究转录爆发的速度和时间是否会在随机模式下影响细胞类型比率.
- 确定无脊柱 (Ss) 基因转录动态在设置R7光受体亚型比率中的作用.
主要方法:
- 操纵无脊椎 (Ss) 核心促进器来改变转录爆发模式.
- 在祖先细胞中Ss转录的实时成像.
- 评估转录变化对R7光受体亚型比率 (Rh4与Rh3) 的影响.
主要成果:
- 改变Ss转录爆发模式改变了R7光受体亚型比率.
- 细胞命运的决定发生在早期,在R7规范和Ss蛋白质生产之前,没有蛋白质反.
- 增加Ss转录"关闭"周期的持续时间降低了Ss-ON/Rh4命运比率,而连续转录导致了所有Ss-ON结果.
结论:
- R7光受体亚型的比例取决于无脊柱 (Ss) 基因转录的数量和动态.
- 染色体状态受到CBP等因素的影响,在SS转录不活跃期间起压制作用.
- 在这个系统中,细胞命运的决定是由基因表达的时间动态调节的,而不是蛋白质水平的反.

02:45The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes
8.4K
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...

6.3K
In 1928, a German botanist Emil Heitz observed the moss nuclei with a DNA binding dye. He observed that while some chromatin regions decondense and spread out in the interphase nucleus, others do not. He termed them euchromatin and heterochromatin, respectively. He proposed that the heterochromatin regions reflect a functionally inactive state of the genome. It was later confirmed that heterochromatin is transcriptionally repressed, and euchromatin is transcriptionally active chromatin.

01:30General Transcription Factors
5.2K
Tissue-specific transcription factors contribute to diverse cellular functions in mammals. For example, the gene for beta globin, a major component of hemoglobin, is present in all cells of the body. However, it is only expressed in red blood cells because the transcription factors that can bind to the promoter sequences of the beta globin gene are only expressed in these cells. Tissue-specific transcription factors also ensure that mutations in these factors may impair only the function of...
