Drosophila Development
Each egg is surrounded by a chorion.
The anterior end has two filaments to allow oxygen to enter the cell.
Sperm enter through the micropyle at the anterior end.

Early Drosophila Development
It takes 1 day for the embryo to develop into a larva. The larva hatches, feeds, and sheds its skin twice. After 5 days, the larva becomes immobile and forms
a pupa. During the pupal stage, cells in the imaginal discs
differentiate into adult structures.

Maternal Gene Activity in Development
Materials transported into the egg during oogenesis play a major role
in embryonic development.

Maternal-Effect Genes
Maternal-effect genes contribute to the formation of healthy eggs; effects of mutations in these genes may not affect the phenotype of the female making the eggs but may be seen in the next generation.
A maternal-effect mutation causes a mutant phenotype in the offspring of a female with a mutant genotype.

Excision of Intron Sequences
![Page 12: Drosophila Development Each egg is surrounded by a chorion. The anterior end has two filaments to allow oxygen to enter the cell. Sperm enter through.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e995503460f94b9c9e1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Splicing
Removal of introns must be very precise. Conserved sequences for removal of the introns of
nuclear mRNA genes are minimal.– Dinucleotide sequences at the 5’ and 3’ ends of introns.– An A residue about 30 nucleotides upstream from the 3’
splice site is needed for lariat formation.
![Page 13: Drosophila Development Each egg is surrounded by a chorion. The anterior end has two filaments to allow oxygen to enter the cell. Sperm enter through.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e995503460f94b9c9e1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Types of Intron Excision The introns of tRNA precursors are excised by precise
endonucleolytic cleavage and ligation reactions catalyzed by special splicing endonuclease and ligase activities.
The introns of nuclear pre-mRNA (hnRNA) transcripts are spliced out in two-step reactions carried out by spliceosomes.

The Spliceosome
Five snRNAs: U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6
Some snRNAs associate with proteins to form snRNAs (small nuclear ribonucleoproteins)

Development
![Page 29: Drosophila Development Each egg is surrounded by a chorion. The anterior end has two filaments to allow oxygen to enter the cell. Sperm enter through.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e995503460f94b9c9e1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Sex Determination in Drosophila and C. elegans
The sex determination signal in both animals is the ratio of X chromosomes to autosomes. If the ratio is 1.0 or greater, the animal is a female; if the ratio is 0.5 or less, the animal is a male.CLASSIC Definition
But wrong In Drosophila, the key genes in sex determination
encode proteins that regulate RNA processing.
![Page 30: Drosophila Development Each egg is surrounded by a chorion. The anterior end has two filaments to allow oxygen to enter the cell. Sperm enter through.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e995503460f94b9c9e1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Sex Determination in Drosophila
Components of the sex-determination pathway include– A system to ascertain the X:A ratio ,– A system to covert this ratio into a
developmental signal, and– A system to respond to this signal by
producing either male or female structures.
![Page 31: Drosophila Development Each egg is surrounded by a chorion. The anterior end has two filaments to allow oxygen to enter the cell. Sperm enter through.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e995503460f94b9c9e1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Ascertaining the X:A Ratio
The system that ascertains the X:A ratio involves interactions between maternally synthesized proteins in the egg cytoplasm and embryonically synthesized proteins encoded by several X-linked genes.
The X-linked gene products are called numerator elements and are twice as abundant in XX embryos as in XY embryos.
The autosomal gene products are called denominator elements and antagonize the products of the numerator elements.

The Sex-lethal (Sxl) Gene
Sxl is the mater regular of the sex determination pathway in Drosophila.
The X:A ratio is converted into a molecular signal that controls the expression of the X-linked Sxl gene.

Function of SXL
SXL regulates splicing of its own transcript to maintain SXL protein expression in XX embryos.
SXL also regulates splicing of the transformer (tra) gene.

Differentiating in Response to the Signal
TRA, along with TRA2, regulate splicing of doublesex (dsx) and fruitless (fru).
In XX embryos, where TRA is present, dsx transcripts are processed to encode a DSX protein that represses the genes for male development.
In XY embryos, where TRA is absent, dsx transcripts are processed to encode a DSX protein that represses the genes for female development.

Loss-of-Function Mutations in Sex-Determination Genes in Drosophila
Mutations in Sxl prevent SXL protein from being made in males; homozygous mutants would develop into males but die as embryos.
Mutations in transformer and transformer2 cause both XX and XY animals to develop into males.
Mutations in dsx cause both XX and XY embryos to develop into intersexes.

Key Points
In Drosophila the pathway that controls sexual differentiation involves some genes that ascertain the X:A ratio, some that convert this ratio into a developmental signal, and others that respond to the signal by producing either male or female structures.
The Sex-lethal (Sxl) gene plays a key role in Drosophila sexual development by regulating the splicing of its own transcript and that of another gene (tra).
