Genetic Circadian Mosaics and the Clock Network’s Contributions to Sleep
… reinstated the Period (PER) protein using the Gal4-UAS system in specific subsets of the circadian clock neuron network using the <em>per<sup>01</sup></em>mutant fly as the base. This mutant fly lacks the PER protein, a critical protein essential for driving the negative feedback loop which …

A Neuroprotective Role for Mir-1017, a Non-Canonical Mirna
… host transcript for miR-1017. We utilized the GAL4/UAS system, to observe the miR-1017 expression pattern; furthermore we witnessed a disrupted feedback loop in the miR-1017 null background resulting in higher Da2 transcriptional activation. This could be phenocopied with the acetylcholine …

Role of Drosophila Rap/Fzr (Cdh1) in retinal axon targeting and its interactions with Loco, Liprin-a and Ras
… Mosaic analyses experiments using FLP-FRT and GAL4-UAS techniques show that Rap/Fzr functions in a cell autonomous manner. To test for possible role of other signaling molecules and interactions with Rap/Fzr, we have examined rap phenotypes in double mutant combinations with Loco, Liprin-α, …

Characterization of Codon Optimized Wild Type TDP-43 Mediated Neurodegeneration in a Drosophila Model for ALS.
… optimized wild type TDP-43 using the binary GAL4/UAS system, as well as direct promoter fusion constructs with glass promoter. Codon optimized TDP-43 misexpression causes robust phenotypes in the adult eye, wings and bristles in the notum. Compared to human transgenic flies, the codon …

Development of Tools to Assess the Effects of Lunasin on Normal Development and Tumor Progression in Drosophila Melanogaster
… lunasin and EGFP-lunasin were cloned into pUAST and microinjected into Drosophila embryos. Tissue-specific overexpression of EGFP-Lun in the resulting transgenic lines was accomplished by crossing transgenics to various GAL4 driver lines. Progeny were assessed for phenotypic alterations and …

Molekulare und funktionelle Charakterisierung der reggie/flotillin Gene in Drosophila melanogaster
… wo diese zu Bündeln zusammengefasst werden. Mit GAL4/UAS-Fehlexpressionsstudien konnte die generelle Hypothese der Beteiligung an Adhäsionsprozessen weiter gestützt werden, da reggie-Fehlexpression während der Entwicklung des Komplexauges mit zelladhäsionsabhängigen Prozessen interferiert. <br>Im …

Regulation of cytochrome P450 genes in drosophila melanogaster by the chemical environment
… conserved across Drosophila species, by using a GAL4/UAS RNAi system to study the reproductive effects of knocking down the gene Cyp4g15. Using molecular modeling of the Cyp4g15 protein, I propose a potential substrate for this enzyme, the pheromone cis-vaccenyl acetate.

Causes of Naive Ethanol Avoidance in Drosophila Melanogaster
… To interfere with neuronal function, I used the Gal4/UAS system, which allows for tissue specific manipulation of the activity of both neurons and genes. RESULTS: On average, Drosophila flies ate less sucrose when ethanol was added. One reason for this was that fewer flies initiated feeding. Upon …

Using <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> as a Whole-Model Animal System to Elucidate the Mechanism of Action of Novel Anticancer Agents
… Mutants were generated using the Gal4-UAS system coupled with RNA interference. Knockdown was achieved for <i>Sod1</i>, a key gene in the antioxidant pathway, and <i>Ercc1</i>, a DNA repair gene. Drosophila were microinjected with the oxidatively agents, An-Hq and …

OMB and ORG-1
… of ectopic org-1 were analyzed using UAS-org-1 transgenic flies and a number of different Gal4 driver lines. Misexpression of org-1 during imaginal development interfered with the normal development of many organs and resulted in flies with a plethora of phenotypes. These include a …

The role of drosophila protein kinase doubletime in circadian period determination, morning and evening oscillators and tauopathy
In this dissertation, I used the GAL4-UAS binary expression method to overexpress mutant and wild type forms of the circadian protein kinase DBT in order to address several basic questions about DBT's biological functions. Different dbt mutations either shorten or lengthen the circadian period, …
