The eyeless homeodomain is dispensable for eye development in Drosophila

Article Abstract:

The eyeless homeodomain has been found to be not required for Drosophila eye development. That the paired domain (PD) within the EY protein is required and sufficient for the induction of eye development and that the homeodomain (HD) within the EY protein is enough to repress the selector gene Distal-less (Dll) has been shown. It seems distinct functions are mediated differentially by the two DNA-binding domains of eyeless.

Formation of brainstem (nor)adrenergic centers and first-order relay visceral sensory neurons is dependent on homeodomain protein Rnx/Tlx3

Article Abstract:

A surprising ontogenetic relationship between relay visceral sensory and (nor)adrenergic neurons has been found. It seems it may be a common theme in the developing nervous system that the same set of transcriptional regulators is associated with formation of various components in a neuronal network.

Atg7-dependent autophagy promotes neuronal health, stress tolerance, and longevity but is dispensable for metamorphosis in Drosophila

Article Abstract:

The article discusses importance and effects of Atg7-dependent autophagy, a process of cytoplasmic degradation and recycling. The process is found to be extremely beneficial for the adults but is not necessary for metamorphosis in Drosophila tissues.
