Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α is required to establish the larval glycolytic program in Drosophila melanogaster by Yasaman Heidarian, Tess D. Fasteen, Liam Mungcal, Kasun Buddika, Nader H. Mahmoudzadeh, Travis Nemkov, Angelo D'Alessandro, Jason M. Tennessen

“…Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that Sima/HIF1α is required during embryogenesis to coordinately up-regulate carbohydrate metabolism in preparation for larval growth. Notably, our study also reveals that the Sima/HIF1α-dependent gene expression program shares considerable overlap with that observed in dERR mutant, suggesting that Sima/HIF1α and dERR cooperatively regulate embryonic and larval glycolytic gene expression.…”
