    Nutrient conditions affect the reproductive potential and lifespan of many organisms through the insulin signaling pathway. Although this is well characterized in female oogenesis, nutrient-dependent regulation of fertility/fecundity in males is not known. Seminal fluid components synthesized in the accessory gland are required for high fecundity in Drosophila males. The accessory gland is composed of two types of binucleated cells: a main cell and a secondary cell (SC). The transcription factors Defective proventriculus (Dve) and Abdominal-B (Abd-B) are strongly expressed in adult SCs, whose functions are essential for male fecundity. We found that gene expression of both Dve and Abd-B was down-regulated under nutrient-poor conditions. In addition, nutrient conditions during the pupal stage affected the size and number of SCs. These morphological changes clearly correlated with fecundity, suggesting that SCs act as nutrient sensors. Here, we provide evidence that Dve associates nutrient conditions with optimal reproductive potential in a target of rapamycin signaling-dependent manner.

    Veins are longitudinal cuticular structures that maintain shape of the wing. Drosophila melanogaster has six longitudinal veins (L1-L6) and two cross veins. The Zn-finger transcription factors of Spalt-complex (Sal) are required for positioning of the L2 and L5, and the homeodomain transcription factors of Iroquois complex (Iro-C) are required for formation of the L3 and L5 veins.
    The homeodomain transcriptional repressor Defective proventriculus (Dve) is uniformly expressed in the wing pouch of the larval imaginal disc. However, dve mutant wings showed loss of the L2 and L5, but not of the L3 and L4 veins. Temporal dve knockdown experiments indicate that the Dve activity is required for vein formation from late third larval instar to the prepupal stage. In the prepupal wing, Dve expression becomes nearly complementary to that of Sal through the Sal-mediated dve repression. Furthermore, coexpression of Dve and Iro-C relieved of Sal-mediated repression is required for the L5 formation in a dose-dependent manner. The relationship between Sal, Dve, and Iro-C in wing vein specification is quite similar to that in ommatidial cell-type specification. Our results provide information about the conserved function of dve regulatory motifs in cell differentiation. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Background: In standard cell division, the cells undergo karyokinesis and then cytokinesis. Some cells, however, such as cardiomyocytes and hepatocytes, can produce binucleate cells by going through mitosis without cytokinesis. This cytokinesis skipping is thought to be due to the inhibition of cytokinesis machinery such as the central spindle or the contractile ring, but the mechanisms regulating it are unclear. We investigated them by characterizing the binucleation event during development of the Drosophila male accessory gland, in which all cells are binucleate.
    Results: The accessory gland cells arrested the cell cycle at 50 hours after puparium formation (APF) and in the middle of the pupal stage stopped proliferating for 5 hours. They then restarted the cell cycle and at 55 hours APF entered the M-phase synchronously. At this stage, accessory gland cells binucleated by mitosis without cytokinesis. Binucleating cells displayed the standard karyokinesis progression but also showed unusual features such as a non-round shape, spindle orientation along the apico-basal axis, and poor assembly of the central spindle. Mud, a Drosophila homolog of NuMA, regulated the processes responsible for these three features, the classical isoform Mud(PBD) and the two newly characterized isoforms Mud(L) and Mud(S) regulated them differently: Mud(L) repressed cell rounding, Mud(PBD) and MudS oriented the spindle along the apico-basal axis, and Mud(S) and Mud(L) repressed central spindle assembly. Importantly, overexpression of Mud(S) induced binucleation even in standard proliferating cells such as those in imaginal discs.
    Conclusions: We characterized the binucleation in the Drosophila male accessory gland and examined mechanisms that regulated unusual morphologies of binucleating cells. We demonstrated that Mud, a microtubule binding protein regulating spindle orientation, was involved in this binucleation. We suggest that atypical functions exerted by three structurally different isoforms of Mud regulate cell rounding, spindle orientation and central spindle assembly in binucleation. We also propose that Mud(S) is a key regulator triggering cytokinesis skipping in binucleation processes.

    Developmental fields are subdivided into lineage-restricted cell populations, known as compartments. In the eye imaginal disc of Drosophila, dorso-ventral (DV) lineage restriction is the primary event, whereas antero-posterior compartment boundary is the first lineage restriction in other imaginal discs. The Iroquois complex (Iro-C) genes function as dorsal selectors and repress the default, ventral, identity in the eye-head primordium. In Iro-C mutant clones, change of the dorsal identity to default ventral fate leads to generation of ectopic DV boundary, which results in dorsal eye enlargement, and duplication of ventral appendages like antenna and maxillary palp. Similar phenotypes were observed in heads with defective proventriculus (dve) mutant clones. Here, we show that the homeobox gene dve is a downstream effector of Iro-C in the dorsal head capsule (vertex) specification and represses the ventral (antennal) identity. Two homeodomain proteins Distal-less (Dll) and Homothorax (Hth) are known to be determinants of the antennal identity. Ectopic antenna formation in heads with dve mutant clones was associated with ectopic Dll expression and endogenous Hth expression in the vertex region. Interestingly, dve Dll double mutant clones could also induce ectopic antennae lacking the distal structures, suggesting that the Dve activity is crucial for repressing inappropriate antenna-forming potential in the vertex region. Our results clearly indicate that not only the activation of effector genes to execute developmental program but also the repression of inappropriate program is crucial for establishment of the organ identity.

    The Drosophila male accessory gland has functions similar to those of the mammalian prostate gland and the seminal vesicle, and secretes accessory gland proteins into the seminal fluid. Each of the two lobes of the accessory gland is composed of two types of binucleate cell: about 1,000 main cells and 40 secondary cells. A well-known accessory gland protein, sex peptide, is secreted from the main cells and induces female postmating response to increase progeny production, whereas little is known about physiological significance of the secondary cells. The homeodomain transcriptional repressor Defective proventriculus (Dve) is strongly expressed in adult secondary cells, and its mutation resulted in loss of secondary cells, mononucleation of main cells, and reduced size of the accessory gland. dve mutant males had low fecundity despite the presence of sex peptide, and failed to induce the female postmating responses of increased egg laying and reduced sexual receptivity. RNAi-mediated dve knockdown males also had low fecundity with normally binucleate main cells. We provide the first evidence that secondary cells are crucial for male fecundity, and also that Dve activity is required for survival of the secondary cells. These findings provide new insights into a mechanism of fertility/fecundity.

    Circadian locomotor rhythms of Drosophila melanogaster are controlled by a neuronal circuit composed of approximately 150 clock neurons that are roughly classified into seven groups. In the circuit, a group of neurons expressing pigment-dispersing factor (PDF) play an important role in organizing the pacemaking system. Recent studies imply that unknown chemical neurotransmitter(s) (UNT) other than PDF is also expressed in the PDF-positive neurons. To explore its role in the circadian pacemaker, we examined the circadian locomotor rhythms of pdf-Gal4/UAS-TNT transgenic flies in which chemical synaptic transmission in PDF-positive neurons was blocked by expressed tetanus toxin light chain (TNT). In constant darkness (DD), the flies showed a free-running rhythm, which was similar to that of wild-type flies but significantly different from pdf null mutants. Under constant light conditions (LL), however, they often showed complex rhythms with a short period and a long period component. The UNT is thus likely involved in the synaptic transmission in the clock network and its release caused by LL leads to arrhythmicity. Immunocytochemistry revealed that LL induced phase separation in TIMELESS (TIM) cycling among some of the PDF-positive and PDF-negative clock neurons in the transgenic flies. These results suggest that both PDF and UNT play important roles in the Drosophila circadian clock, and activation of PDF pathway alone by LL leads to the complex locomotor rhythm through desynchronized oscillation among some of the clock neurons.

    A pair of the Drosophila eye-antennal disc gives rise to four distinct organs (eyes, antennae, maxillary palps, and ocelli) and surrounding head cuticle. Developmental processes of this imaginal disc provide an excellent model system to study the mechanism of regional specification and subsequent organogenesis. The dorsal head capsule (vertex) of adult Drosophila is divided into three morphologically distinct subdomains: ocellar, frons, and orbital. The homeobox gene orthodenticle (otd) is required for head vertex development, and mutations that reduce or abolish ad expression in the vertex primordium lead to ocelliless flies. The homeodomain-containing transcriptional repressor Engrailed (En) is also involved in ocellar specification, and the En expression is completely lost in otd mutants. However, the molecular mechanism of ocellar specification remains elusive. Here, we provide evidence that the homeobox gene defective proventriculus (dye) is a downstream effector of Otd, and also that the repressor activity of Dye is required for en activation through a relief-of-repression mechanism. Furthermore, the Dye activity is involved in repression of the frons identity in an incoherent feedforward loop of Otd and Dye. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    How complex networks of activators and repressors lead to exquisitely specific cell-type determination during development is poorly understood. In the Drosophila eye, expression patterns of Rhodopsins define at least eight functionally distinct though related subtypes of photoreceptors. Here, we describe a role for the transcription factor gene defective proventriculus (dve) as a critical node in the network regulating Rhodopsin expression. dve is a shared component of two opposing, interlocked feedforward loops (FFLs). Orthodenticle and Dve interact in an incoherent FFL to repress Rhodopsin expression throughout the eye. In R7 and R8 photoreceptors, a coherent FFL relieves repression by Dve while activating Rhodopsin expression. Therefore, this network uses repression to restrict and combinatorial activation to induce cell-type-specific expression. Furthermore, Dve levels are finely tuned to yield cell-type-and region-specific repression or activation outcomes. This interlocked FFL motif may be a general mechanism to control terminal cell-fate specification.

    The Drosophila middle midgut cells derived from the endoderm develop into four distinct types of cell. Of these cells, copper cells have invaginated microvillar membranes on their apical surface, and they are involved in two distinct functions, i.e., copper absorption and acid secretion. The homeobox gene defective proventriculus (dve) is expressed in the midgut, and two transcripts, type A (similar to 4.9 kb) and type B (similar to 3.5 kb), have been identified. We isolated the deletion allele dve(E181) that completely removes the first exon for type-A (dve-A) transcript. Dve expression pattern in dve-A mutant background indicates that isoform switching is dynamically regulated in a cell-type specific manner. Using RNAi for dve-A, we examined spatial and temporal requirement of the Dve-A activity. Early Dve-A activity is required to repress isoform switching in copper cells, and for establishment of two gut functions. Late Dve-A activity in copper cells, but not in adjacent interstitial cells, is required for acid secretion, while the activity is redundantly required in both cells for the copper absorptive function. Furthermore, ectopic type-B expression in larval copper cells specifically impaired the copper absorptive function. These results provide insight into molecular mechanisms to establish functional specificity. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Segmentation plays crucial roles during morphogenesis. Drosophila legs are divided into segments along the proximal-distal axis by flexible structures called joints. Notch signaling is necessary and sufficient to promote leg growth and joint fort-nation, and is activated in distal cells of each segment in everting prepupal leg discs. The homeobox gene defective proventriculus (dve) is expressed in regions both proximal and distal to the intersegmental folds at 4 h after puparium formation (APF). Dve-expressing region partly overlaps with the Notch-activated region, and they become a complementary pattern at 6 It APF. Interestingly, dve mutant legs resulted in extra joint formation at the center of each tarsal segment, and the forced expression of dve caused a jointless phenotype. We present evidence that Dve suppresses the potential joint-forming activity, and that Notch signaling represses Dve expression to form joints. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    The mechanisms for cell fate determination have been extensively studied whereas little is known about the mechanism through which functional specificity is established. In the Drosophila midgut, copper cells provide an excellent model system to examine this mechanism. Copper is an essential element for the activity of a number of physiologically important enzymes including Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase, cytochrome c oxidase, and dopamine-beta-hydroxylase. Drosophila copper cells are involved in two distinct functions, i.e., copper absorption and acid secretion, which are visualized as a fluorescent signal and a color change of a pH indicator dye, respectively. Here we show that the absorptive function is established through two independent pathways, the Notch signaling pathway in adjacent interstitial cells and the Wingless signaling pathway in copper cells. Furthermore, the other function, acid secretion, is regulated through the Decapentaplegic and Wingless signaling pathways in interstitial cells. Our results clearly indicate that normal morphological development is insufficient for functional maturation, and that subsequent functional specification is achieved through several independent pathways. These results provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanism underlying functional specification. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    The discovery of homeobox gene clusters led us to realize that the mechanisms for body patterning and other developmental programs are evolutionally-conserved in vertebrates and invertebrates. The endoderm contributes to the lining of the gut and associated organs such as the liver and pancreas, which are critical for physiological functions. Our knowledge of endoderm development is limited; however, recent studies suggest that cooperation between the HNF3/Fork head and GATA transcription factors is crucial for endoderm specification. It is necessary to further understand the mechanism through which cells become functionally organized. Molecular genetic analyses of the Drosophila endoderm would provide insights into this issue. During proventriculus morphogenesis, a simple epithelial tube is folded into a functional multilayered structure, while two functions of midgut copper cells (i.e. copper absorption and acid secretion) can be easily visualized. The homeobox gene defective proventriculus (dve) plays key roles in these functional specifications.

    A homeobox gene, defective proventriculus (dve), is expressed in various tissues including the ventral ectoderm and midgut. Here, we show the expression pattern of due in the ventral ectoderm, in which dve expression is induced by Spitz, a ligand for Drosophila epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). In spitz mutants, due expression is only lost in the ventral ectoderm and overexpression of Spitz induces ectopic due activation in the ventral ectoderm. Dve expression in the middle midgut depends on Decapentaplegic (Dpp) signaling, while expression of a dominant-negative form of Drosophila EGFR (DERDN) also causes a marked decrease in due expression in the middle midgut. Furthermore, heterozygous mutation of thick veins (tkv), a Dpp receptor, strongly enhances the effect of DERDN. These results indicate that EGFR signaling is crucial for dve expression in the ventral ectoderm and is required in the middle midgut where it cooperates with Dpp signaling. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc.

    Transgenic flies that can drive GAL4 expression under the control of the 7 kb 5'-region of the Drosophila Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (dCaMKII) gene (dCaMKII-GAL4) were established. Characteristic features of this dCaMKII-GAL4 driven reporter expression were compatible with the endogenous dCaMKII expression pattern: The dCaMKII-GAL4 driven reporter gene was expressed preferentially in the central nervous system of the embryo and larvae. Reporter expression was also observed in the brain, thoracic ganglion, and gut of the adult. The whole-brain distribution and projections of dCaMKII-GAL4-expressing cells in the adults were visualized three-dimensionally by using UAS-linked reporter genes. Prominent signals of nuclear-localized beta-Gal reporter gene expression were found in extensive brain regions, especially in the Kenyon cells of the mushroom body (MB), cells in the pars intercerebralis, and subesophageal ganglion (SOG). tau reporter gene expression highlighting neurite projections was detected in the MB lobes, median bundle, antennal lobe glomeruli, and fibers of clusters in the SOG, ventrolateral protocerebrum and superior lateral protocerebrum. These observations agree with those of a previous study mapping the dCaMKII-dependent memory circuits in courtship conditioning. Interestingly, green fluorescent protein reporter gene expression in adult MB lobes was predominantly observed in the alpha and beta lobes with a core-deficient pattern, but not in the alpha' and beta' lobes, similar to Fasciclin II immunoreactivity.

    Pattern formation during animal development is often induced by extracellular signaling molecules, known as morphogens, which are secreted from localized sources. During wing development in Drosophila, Wingless (Wg) is activated by Notch signaling along the dorsal-ventral boundary of the wing imaginal disc and acts as a morphogen to organize gene expression and cell growth. Expression of wg is restricted to a narrow stripe by Wg itself, repressing its own expression in adjacent cells. This refinement of wg expression is essential for specification of the wing margin. Here, we show that a homeodomain protein, Defective proventriculus (Dve), mediates the refinement of wg expression in both the wing disc and embryonic proventriculus, where dve expression requires Wg signaling. Our results provide evidence for a feedback mechanism that establishes the wg-expressing domain through the action of a Wg-induced gene product. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).

    Morphogen gradients of secreted molecules play critical roles in the establishment of the spatial pattern of gene expression. During midgut development in Drosophila, secreted molecules of Decapentaplegic (Dpp) and Wingless (Wg) establish unique transcriptional regulation within target cells to specify the resultant cell types. Here we report the identification of a novel homeobox gene, defective proventriculus (dve), which is required for the midgut specification under the control of Dpp and Wg. In dye mutants, two distinct parts of the midgut, the proventriculus and middle midgut, are abnormally organized. The Wg signal regulates dve? expression during proventriculus development. On the other hand, dye is a downstream target of Dpp in the middle midgut and defines the functional specificity of copper cells along with another Dpp target gene, labial. Thus, the dye gene acts under the two distinct extracellular signals at distant parts of the midgut primordia.

    Primary murine fetal hemopoietic cells were transformed with a fusion protein consisting of the ligand-binding domain of the estrogen receptor and a carboxyl-terminally truncated c-Myb protein (ERMYB), The ERMYB-transformed hemopoietic cells exhibit an immature myeloid phenotype when grown in the presence of beta-estradiol. Upon removal of beta-estradiol, the ERMYB cells display increased adherence, decreased clonogenicity and differentiate to cells exhibiting granulocyte or macrophage morphology, The expression of the c-myc, c-kit, cdc2 and bcl-2 genes, which are putatively regulated by Myb, was investigated in ERMYB cells grown in the presence or absence of beta-estradiol. Neither c-myc nor cdc2 expression was down-regulated after removal of beta-estradiol demonstrating that differentiation is not a consequence of decreased transactivation of these genes by ERMYB. While bcl-2 expression was reduced by 50% in ERMYB cells grown in the absence of beta-estradiol, there was no increase in DNA laddering, suggesting that Myb was not protecting ERMYB cells from apoptosis, In contrast, a substantial (200-fold) decrease in c-kit mRNA level was observed following differentiation of ERMYB cells, and c-kit mRNA could be partially re-induced by the re-addition of beta-estradiol. Furthermore, a reporter construct containing the c-kit promoter was activated when cotransfected with a Myb expression vector, providing further evidence of a role for Myb in the regulation of c-kit.

    The morphology of axon terminals changes with differentiation into mature synapses. A molecule that might regulate this process was identified by a screen of Drosophila mutants for abnormal motor activities. The still life (sif) gene encodes a protein homologous to guanine nucleotide exchange factors, which convert Rho-like guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) from a guanosine diphosphate-bound inactive state to a guanosine triphosphate-bound active state. The SIF proteins are found adjacent to the plasma membrane of synaptic terminals. Expression of a truncated SIF protein resulted in defects in neuronal morphology and induced membrane ruffling with altered actin localization in human KB cells. Thus, SIF proteins may regulate synaptic differentiation through the organization of the actin cytoskeleton by activating Rho-like GTPases.

    ASYMMETRIC divisions that produce two distinct cells play fundamental roles in generating different cell types during development(1,2). In the Drosophila central nervous system, neural stem cells called neuroblasts divide unequally into another neuroblast and a ganglion mother cell which is Subsequently cleaved into neurons. Correct gene expression of ganglion mother tells requires the transcription factor Prospero(3-5). Here we demonstrate the asymmetric segregation of Prospero on neuroblast division, Prospero synthesized in neuroblasts is retained in the cytoplasm and at mitosis is exclusively partitioned to ganglion mother cells, in which it is translocated to the nucleus, Differential segregation of Prospero was also found in the endoderm. We have identified a region in Prospero that is responsible for this event, The region shares a common motif with Numb(6), which also shows unequal segregation(7). We propose that asymmetric segregation of transcription factors is an intrinsic mechanism for establishing asymmetry in gene expression between sibling cells.

    The myb gene family has three members, c-myb, A-myb, and B-myb. A-myb mRNA is mainly expressed in testis and peripheral blood leukocytes. A-Myb can activate transcription from the promoter containing Myb-binding sites in all cells examined. In addition to the two domains (a DNA-binding domain and a transcriptional activation domain), two negative regulatory domains have been identified in A-Myb. These results indicate that A-Myb functions as a transcriptional activator mainly in testis and peripheral blood cells, and the regulatory mechanism of A-Myb activity is similar to that of c-Myb.

    In order to reveal cellular processes sensitive to abnormal c-myb expression in vivo, transgenic mice were produced by introducing the c-myb nuclear proto-oncogene under the ubiquitous transcriptional regulatory unit of the cytoplasmic beta-actin gene. Expression of c-myb in thymus did not cause apparent abnormality, but the mice unexpectedly developed degenerative abnormalities in skeletal and cardiac muscles; this occurred predominantly in males. Expression of c-myb in skeletal muscle was correlated with an inflammation of muscle and was accompanied by vacuolar degeneration of muscle fibres, their regeneration, and lymphocyte infiltration. The identical pathological progression in cardiac muscle was associated with cardiomegaly.

    Three members of the human myb gene family (c-myb, A-myb, and B-myb) encode transcriptional regulators that can bind to specific DNA sequences. High levels of c-myb expression are usually found in immature hemopoietic cells, but the B-myb is more commonly expressed in many types of cells. To understand the regulation of the activity of B-myb gene product (B-Myb), its functional domains were analyzed. Like c-Myb, B-Myb also has a transcriptional activation domain containing a cluster of acidic amino acids in the region downstream of the DNA-binding domain, which consists of three tandem repeats of 51-52 amino acids. In contrast to c-Myb, B-Myb does not contain a negative regulatory domain. Furthermore, the multiple nuclear localization signals are in at least two regions in the COOH-terminal half of B-Myb, and one of them is adjacent to a potential cdc2 kinase site. These results indicate that B-Myb contains DNA-binding and transcriptional activation domains similar to those of c-Myb, but a regulatory mechanism of B-Myb activity is quite different from that for c-Myb.

    To identify the target genes modulated by the myb gene product (Myb), a co-transfection assay with a Myb expression plasmid was performed. Both c-Myb and B-Myb, another member of the myb gene family, trans-activated the human c-myc promoter. DNAase I footprint analysis using the bacterially expressed c-Myb, identified multiple c-Myb binding sites in the c-myc promoter region. Deletion analysis of the c-myc promoter suggested that some number of Myb binding sites, not a specific Myb binding site, is important for the c-Myb-induced trans-activation of the c-myc promoter. Using the c-myc-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) construct as a reporter in a co-transfection assay, the domains of c-Myb required for trans-activation were examined. The functional domains of c-Myb identified using the c-myc promoter were almost the same as those identified previously with the artificial target gene containing Myb binding sites, but unlike the case with the artificial target gene the N-terminal half of the previously identified negative regulatory domains and the C-terminal 136 amino acids were required for the maximal trans-activation of the c-myc promoter. These results indicate that there are some differences in the regulation of Myb-dependent trans-activation in different target genes.

    The wild-type p53 protein suppresses transformation, but certain missense mutants of p53 can transform cells. Although the wild-type p53 protein contains a transcriptional activation domain, no p53-responsive element has been identified. Here, we identified the p53-responsive element within the Tax-responsive element [21-base-pair (bp) enhancer] of human T-cell leukemia virus type I. Mutation analysis of the 21-bp enhancer indicated that the 16-bp sequence containing the cAMP-responsive element and its surrounding sequence was responsible for p53-induced transactivation. This 16-bp sequence was demonstrated to bind specifically to wild-type human p53 protein in vitro. Using a series of deletion mutants of p53, we showed that almost the entire region of p53 is needed for the transactivating capacity. Furthermore, the transforming mutants of p53 were unable to act as transcriptional activators. The p53-responsive element identified here should be useful to analyze the mechanism by which p53 regulates expression of a set of genes with a negative effect on cellular growth.

    Three prokaryotic termination signals, the Escherichia coli trp attenuator, lambda-4S RNA terminator, and lambda-tR1 terminator, were examined as to their effects on transcription in vivo in HeLa cells. The trp attenuator inhibited the expression of downstream genes in an orientation-dependent manner, but both the lambda-4S RNA and lambda-tR1 terminators did not. Furthermore, a point mutation of the attenuator that disrupted the secondary structure of mRNA abolished this inhibitory effect. These results suggest that an attenuator-like secondary structure is effective in inhibiting transcriptional elongation by RNA polymerase II.

    The male reproductive organ accessory gland in Drosophila produces components of seminal fluid. Excess nutrient signaling reduces fecundity through changes in gene expression that are mediated by inhibition of degradation of the transcriptional regulator Dve. Microarray analysis identified Dve target gene candidates.
    In addition, a novel feedback mechanism is proposed that the strong stress induces accumulation of Dve proteins and suppresses the expression of the initial stress response genes (molecular chaperon, ER stress sensor Xbp1).

    The male reproductive organ accessory glands in Drosophila make components of seminal fluid. We examined the possibility that accessory gland cells function as a nutrient sensor when controlling reproductive ability (fecundity) in response to nutrient conditions. Of the main cells (~ 1,000) and the secondary cells (~ 60), we showed that the nutrient conditions during development change the number and size of secondary cells to optimize male fecundity. In addition, Dve and Abd-B were identified as factors that control gene expression in a nutrient-dependent manner.

    Malpighian tubules of Drosophila melanogaster have functions homologous to those of mammalian kidney, and maintain homeostasis by excreting waste matter from the body fluid. This study has shown that the homeodomain transcription factor Defective proventriculus (Dve) is essential for functional differentiation of these cells and their stress response to high-salt diet.

    The Drosophila middle midgut has two functions, copper absorption and acid secretion. These functions are established by intercellular communication between copper and interstitial cells. The transcription factor Dve has two isoforms (Dve-A, Dve-B), and the spatio-temporal regulation of isoform switching is cricial for functional differentiation of the midgut. In addition, the cell-type specific activities of Rho GTPase and V-ATPase are also required for the midgut functions.

    ショウジョウバエのdefective proventriculus (dve)遺伝子は,形態形成因子Wingless (Wg), Decapentaplegic (Dpp)に依存して発現するホメオボックス遺伝子である。脚原ににおいてNotchシグナルは同心円状に活性化され,脚原基の増殖および分節化に関与する。蛹期の脚原基喧おいて,Notch活性化領域は脚分節様構造の遠位部側であり,Dveは分節構造をまたいで発現するため,両者は分節構造の遠位部側で部分的な重複を示す。発生の進行に伴ってこの重複部分でのDve発現が抑制されることが,成虫脚分節間をつなぐジョイントと呼ばれる構造を形成するために必要である。この過程において,NotchシグナルとEGFRシグナルの拮抗作用,細胞内平面極性(Planer Cell Polarity ; PCP)によるDve発現の維持も必要とされる。dve変異体やEGFR, PCPシグナル因子の変異体では,異所的なジョイント構造が形成されるが,dve変異モザイククローン内での異所的なNotch活性の上昇は認められなかったことから,dve遺伝子発現の抑制がジョイント形成のための十分条件であるか否かについて検討を行った。ジョイント形成領域におけるNotch活性の阻害によって誘導されるジョイント構造の欠失は,dve変異によって回復することはなかったため,ジョイント形成にはdve発現抑制とは独立にNotch活性が必要とされることが明らかとなった。
    触角と脚はともに明確な分節構造を有し,触角が脚に転換する変異体が存在することや遺伝子発現パターンの類似性などから,形成メカニズムの共通性が指摘されている。Dve発現領域は第3節よりも遠位部側で,二重または三重のリング状に発現していた。しかし,この発現は触角形成そのものには必要ではなく,dve変異モザイク個体においては,正常に形成された本来の触角構造の背側に異所触角が鏡像対称に出現した。変異体が同様の表現型を示すIroquois complexとdveとの関連を調べたところ,それぞれの変異体において明確な遺伝子発現の変化は観察されず,両者が独立の経路で協調的に作用しているという可能性が示唆された。

    キイロショウジョウバエの複眼は約800個の個眼から構成され、その中には8種類の光受容細胞(R1-R8)が存在している。これらは受容する光波長の違いや形態的な特徴から次の2つに大別できる。(1)外側光受容細胞(R1-R6)はRhodopsin1(Rh1)を発現することで物体のイメージ形成に必要な波長の光を受容し、神経軸索を脳薄層(ラミナ;lamina)に投射する。(2)内側光受容細胞(R7,R8)は主に色覚情報を与えるとされ、yellow typeはRh4/Rh6(in R7/R8)、pale typeはRh3/Rh5(in R7/R8)を発現し、軸索を脳髄層(メダラ;medulla)に投射する。defective proventriculus(dve)遺伝子は、視覚認識行動異常の原因遺伝子として同定されたホメオドメイン転写因子である。まず、ショウジョウバエ視覚神経系発生の初期(3齢幼虫〜蛹初期)のラミナと、後期(蛹中期〜成虫)の複眼においてDveを発現する細胞を確認した。前者はラミナニューロンの前駆細胞由来でありながら神経細胞には分化せず、また既知のグリア細胞とも一致しないため、これらの細胞群をDPL(Dve-positive cells in lamina)と呼ぶことにした。蛹初期にDPLを除去した成虫個体では成虫ラミナニューロンの数が減少し、DPLが存在するラミナ表層においてBrdUの取り込み活性を蛹期に検出することができた。また、DPLはラディアルグリアと類似の突起を有し、細胞系譜追跡実験により、娘細胞がニューロンに分化している可能性を示唆する結果を得た。これらの結果から、DPLは神経前駆細胞の性格を保持し、新規ニューロンの産出によって蛹発生中にラミナ神経系を構築する神経幹細胞であるという可能性が示唆された。
    複眼におけるdve遺伝子発現はR1-R7で検出されたが、dve変異複眼では外側光受容細胞に関する異常は確認できなかった。一方、内側光受容細胞では、全てのR7がRh3を、R8がRh6を発現していた。つまり、ロドプシン発現パターンの初期状態はRh3/Rh6(in R7/R8)であり、Dveを介した誘導シグナルによって内側光受容細胞の機能的分化が制御されていることが明らかとなった。

    形態形成因子(モルフォゲン)の拡散によって生じる濃度勾配は、個々の細胞に異なる位置情報を与え、各生物に個有な形態を作りあげていく。ショウジョウバエのdefective proventriculus(dve)遺伝子は、形態形成因子Wingless(Wg)、Decapentaplegic(Dpp)に依存して発現するホメオボックス遺伝子である。翅原基においてDveが一過性に発現する背腹境界は、翅の辺縁部を形成し、機械刺激を受容するための特殊な剛毛を生じる。この翅の辺縁部はNotchシグナルによって誘導され、このシグナルは細胞増殖とも密接に関連し、翅原基の増殖とパターン形成を制御している。また、脚原基においてNotchシグナルは同心円状に活性化され、脚原基の増殖および分節化に関与する。蛹期の脚原基において、Notch活性化領域は脚分節様構造の遠位部側で、Dveは分節様構造をまたいで発現するため、両者は分節様構造の遠位部側で部分的な重複を示す。発生の進行に伴ってこの重複部分でのDve発現が抑制されることが、成虫脚分節間をつなぐジョイントと呼ばれる構造を形成するために重要であることをこれまで明らかにしてきた。EGFRシグナルを活性化するリガンド分子Veinは、脚原基の遠位部で発現し、近遠軸に沿った活性勾配を作ることによって、脚の遠位部のパターン形成に関与するという報告がなされている。胚発生期や翅原基におけるdve遺伝子発現はEGFRシグナルによっても制御されているという知見に基づき、今回、Dve発現抑制領域にEGFRシグナルを活性化させる分子を発現させたところ、Notchシグナルを阻害した時と同じようなジョイント構造の欠失が観察された。蛹期におけるEGFRシグナルの活性化領域は、Notch活性化領域ときれいに相補的なパターンを示すことから、EGFRリガンド分子Veinは近遠軸に沿った活性勾配を作ることによって遠位部のパターンニングを行うだけでなく、Notchシグナルとの拮抗作用によりEGFRシグナル活性化領域が周期的なパターンで抑制されることが、Notch活性化、dve発現抑制とともにジョイント形成シグナルを形成しているものと考えられる。

    ショウジョウバエの視覚認識行動に異常を示す突然変異体の原因遺伝子として同定したdefective proventriculus(dve)遺伝子は、ホメオボックスを持つ転写制御因子である。dve遺伝子上流の発現制御領域によって標識される神経細胞群(Dve標識細胞)の軸索は視覚中枢に投射しており、Dve標識細胞にテタヌス毒素を発現させ、その神経活動を阻害すると、視覚認識行動が異常になる傾向が認められている。
    Dve標識細胞の染色は、光受容細胞(R1-R6)の投射先であるlaminaにおいても確認されたが、その遺伝子発現は蛹後期から成虫にかけてのみ観察された。一方、Dve抗体による染色では、同時期におけるlaminaでの発現は検出されず、蛹初期lamina予定域の細胞群で発現が確認された。つまり、Dveタンパク質は、蛹初期のlaminaにおいて一過性に発現し、その後の発現は抑制されているようである(Dve_+細胞)。腸管および翅原基における解析の結果、dve遺伝子の一過性発現が細胞機能特性を付与するために重要であることから、蛹期のlaminaにおける一過性のdve発現が視覚認識に関わる神経回路網形成に重要であるものと考えられる。Dve^+細胞は、laminaニューロンマーカー(Dac)の発現と一致しないことから、グリア細胞である可能性が高い。また、蛹後期以降は、光受容細胞(R1-R6)においてもdve遺伝子発現が誘導されることが明らかとなった。この時期には光受容細胞の運命決定、軸索の投射などはすでに完了しているため、光受容細胞(R1-R6)の投射先に存在するDve標識細胞とともに何らかの神経機能の制御に関与している可能性が考えられた。

    ショウジョウバエのホメオボックス遺伝子dveは、腸管の吸収機能特性を制御している。銅イオンをキレートしたポルフィリン系化合物等を吸収する性質からcopper cellと命名されている腸管細胞があり、この細胞は酸を分泌することによって消化の促進にも関与している。吸収活性は蛍光シグナルとして、酸分泌能はpH指示薬の変色として可視化することができるため、機能解析の優れたモデル系となる。この細胞が吸収機能を獲得するためには、dve遺伝子の一過性発現が必要である。つまり、dve遺伝子の発現が抑制されるべき時期に強制的にdve遺伝子を発現させると、形態的な異常を伴うことなく、吸収特性のみが阻害される。このように、吸収機能特性のみが選択的に阻害された個体群と対照群との間で、発現の変化する遺伝子群(吸収機能制御に関わる遺伝子群)を網羅的に検索し、機能特性制御のメカニズムを解析する。
    吸収機能の選択的阻害の条件として、copper cellの示すもう1つの機能である酸分泌能に関して検討を加えた。昨年度、吸収機能を選択的に阻害できる系統として同定していた2系統のうち1系統は、酸分泌能も強く阻害してしまうことが明らかとなった。再スクリーニングの結果、形態に及ぼす影響が比較的少なく、酸分泌能も正常だが、吸収機能を阻害できる系統として、最終的にNP3538,NP3012の2系統を同定することができた。
    control幼虫とdve発現幼虫の間で、発現量に差のある遺伝子群を比較するため、約1,500匹の1齢幼虫を集め、幼虫全体から調製したmRNAサンプルを用いて、RT-PCR法によってdve発現量の顕著な増加を確認することができた。

    一方、神経機能の制御においては、シナプス間の細胞間相互作用が重要であるため、dve変異体において細胞間相互作用の異常によって形態異常が誘導される前胃での機能制御に注目した。前胃での発現を示すエンハンサートラップ系統のGAL4発現をdve変異体において観察したところ、2系統において遺伝子発現の減少が認められた。トランスポゾン挿入部位近傍の配列をもとに近傍の遺伝子を推定してみると、いずれも神経機能と深く関わる遺伝子の発現を反映している可能性が考えられた。

    同定した2系統のうち、1系統は吸収は完全に阻害されるが低頻度で形態異常が誘導されてしまう系統、もう1系統は形態は正常だが低頻度で弱い吸収が認められてしまう系統である。これら2系統で誘導したdve発現幼虫とコントロール幼虫を比較し、2系統に共通して発現が変化している遺伝子は、吸収機能制御に関わる遺伝子として、解析の候補となり得るであろう。

    GAL4/UASシステムを用いて、背腹境界にdve遺伝子を強制発現させ、Notchシグナルによる発現抑制を阻害したところ、翅がまったく形成されなくなったり、翅の辺縁部が欠けるといった表現型を示した。つまり、Notchシグナルによるdve遺伝子の発現抑制は翅原基の細胞増殖、パターン形成のいずれにおいても重要であることがわかった。また、活性化型Notchを異所発現させると、Wgの活性化、Dveの発現抑制に伴って、細胞増殖の促進が誘導された。しかし、Wgの活性化、Dveの発現抑制を起こすことができなかった細胞クローンでは細胞増殖の誘導は観察されなかった。つまり、Dveの発現を抑制できるNotchシグナルの閾値が細胞増殖の促進に重要であるものと考えられる。

    prospero遺伝子は、神経系の幹細胞から非対称分裂により生じる2次前駆細胞で、一過的に機能するホメオボックス遺伝子であり、神経発生に必須な役割を果たす。この遺伝子の転写は幹細胞と二次前駆細胞とで等しく行われるにもかかわらず、翻訳産物は幹細胞の細胞核には見られず、2次前駆細胞の細胞核に局在するように観察される。我々は、このようなprosperoの転写と蛋白局在の非対称性について解析してきた。
    prospero蛋白は神経幹細胞で翻訳されているが、核には決して移行せず、細胞周期の進行に伴いダイナミックに細胞内で局在を変える。神経幹細胞で合成されたprosperoは、細胞分裂に伴って娘細胞の一方にのみ分配され、そこで機能することが明らかになった。この不等分配の分子機構を解析する第一歩として、不等分配に働く機能ドメインを決定したところ、中央部分の120アミノ酸からなる領域('非対称'領域)にその活性があることが分かった。非対称領域のなかで、32アミノ酸からなる極めて限定された領域だけがこの活性に必須である。prosperoタンパク質と同様に不等分配されるnumbタンパク質にも、この必須な領域に相同な配列が見い出されることから、これら二つの分子は同じ機構によって非対称に分配されるのかも知れない。細胞が増殖しながら多様な細胞が形成される発生において、細胞分裂により異なる二つの細胞が生まれる非対称分裂は最も基本的な過程である。prosperoは、細胞分裂に伴い非対称に分配される転写因子の最初の例であり、二つの娘細胞が異なる遺伝子発現をするために、転写因子が一方の娘細胞だけに分配されるという新しいメカニズムの存在する事を明らかにすることができた。prosperoの非対称分配は、外胚葉の神経系以外に内胚葉でも観察されることから、この機構が発生にひろく機能すると考えられる。
