Bimodal Patterns of Locomotor Activity and Sleep in Drosophila: A Model for Their Simulation by Putilov AA, Verevkin EG, Petrovskii DV, Zakharenko LP

“…They can be fitted by proposing the variation of some of the parameters of the two homeostatic processes reflecting the 24-h rhythmicity of the drive for wake and the 12-h rhythmicity of the drive for sleep.Conclusion: Postulation of two separate circadian oscillators is not necessary to explain the bimodal curves in Drosophila melanogaster.Plain language summary: This study tested whether a model postulating circadian modulation of the buildup and decay phases of two homeostatic processes (wake and sleep) can be applied to simulate the bimodal 24-h rhythm of fruit fly activity and sleep. …”

Sodium butyrate is incorporated into central metabolism in fly head while inducing oxygen consumption increase. by Annika Müller-Eigner, Benedikt Gille, Frederik Dethloff, Chen Meng, Christina Ludwig, John T Heiker, Patrick Giavalisco, Shahaf Peleg

“…We have previously shown that the addition of butyrate induces a rapid increase of oxygen consumption in whole Drosophila melanogaster heads. Here we show that while head oxygen consumption is increased by the addition of butyrate, no apparent changes are observed on the proteome and acetylome. …”

DOSAGE COMPENSATION: REGULATION OF SEX CHROMOSOME GENE EXPRESSION by E. V. Dementyeva

“…Study of this process in the sex chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans, and mammals has shown that, despite the common reason of dosage compensation origin, entirely different ways were elaborated to regulate X-linked gene expression level. …”

Eye development under the control of SRp55/B52-mediated alternative splicing of eyeless. by Weronika Fic, François Juge, Johann Soret, Jamal Tazi

“…The genetic programs specifying eye development are highly conserved during evolution and involve the vertebrate Pax-6 gene and its Drosophila melanogaster homolog eyeless (ey). Here we report that the SR protein B52/SRp55 controls a novel developmentally regulated splicing event of eyeless that is crucial for eye growth and specification in Drosophila. …”

Sulfurous Gases As Biological Messengers and Toxins: Comparative Genetics of Their Metabolism in Model Organisms by Neal D. Mathew, David I. Schlipalius, Paul R. Ebert

“…To address this deficit, we use protein sequences from Homo sapiens to query Genbank for homologous proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In C. elegans, we find genes for all mammalian pathways for synthesis and catabolism of the three sulfur containing gasotransmitters, H2S, SO2 and COS. …”

Meiosis-specific stable binding of augmin to acentrosomal spindle poles promotes biased microtubule assembly in oocytes. by Nathalie Colombié, A Agata Głuszek, Ana M Meireles, Hiroyuki Ohkura

“…Here we show that in Drosophila melanogaster oocytes Augmin is dispensable for chromatin-driven assembly of bulk spindle microtubules, but is required for full microtubule assembly near the poles. …”

Assessment of food toxicology by Alexander Gosslau

“…A decrease of rodent animal testing with its limitations of high costs, low throughput readouts, inconsistent responses, ethical issues and concerns of extrapolability to humans have led to an increased use of these but also alternative lower hierarchy surrogate animal models (e.g. Drosophila melanogaster; Caenorhabditis elegans or Danio rerio) and efforts to integrate organotypic systems and stem cell-based assays. …”

A face-off between Smaug and Caspar modulates primordial germ cell count and identity in Drosophila embryos by Girish Deshpande, Subhradip Das, Adheena Elsa Roy, Girish S Ratnaparkhi

“…Intriguingly, not only the PGCs constitute the only immortal cell type but several specific determinants also underlying PGC specification such as Vasa, Nanos and Germ-cell-less are conserved through evolution. In Drosophila melanogaster, PGC formation and specification depends on two independent factors, the maternally deposited specialized cytoplasm (or germ plasm) enriched in germline determinants, and the mechanisms that execute the even partitioning of these determinants between the daughter cells. …”
