Drosophila dorsal/ventral axis detemination How are different tissue types specified at distinct positions on the embryonic dorsalventral axis? Cell fate specification at the blastoderm stage amnioserosa dorsal dorsal ectoderm neuroectoderm mesoderm ventral fate map mesoderm formation Dorsal-Ventral fate map Genes identified in a famous screen for Drosophila mutants with embryo patterning defects Torpedo Gurken Localized maternal mRNA sets up anterior and posterior poles Gurken protein specifies the Anterior-Posterior axis of the Drosophila embryo during oogenesis (Similar to EGF) Gurken also signals dorsal pole formation during oogenesis oocyte nucleus 1-6 A + 7 8 10A D D - P anterior posterior V Gurken mRNA also relocalizes to anterior dorsal side. Microtubules reorient, nucleus migrates to minus end follicle cells microtubules 8 V 10A 1-6 + gurken expression in the oocyte gurken expression in the oocyte Localization of the Gurken mRNA and protein between the oocyte nucleus and the dorsal anterior cell membrane Gurken signaling inhibits production of an extracellular signal (Spätzle) by follicle cells follicle cells Torpedo = EGF receptor (in follicle cells) Gurken = Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Oocyte pipe expression X Ventral follicle cell Pipe (Golgi?)
