The Fruit Fly, Drosophila melanogaster: The Making of a Model (Part I)

Abstract: The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster (Meigen, 1830) has been established as a cornerstone for research into a wide array of subjects including diseases, development, physiology, and genetics. Thanks to an abundance of genetic tools, publicly available fly stocks, and databases, as well as their considerable biological similarity to mammalian systems, Drosophila has been solidified as a key model organism for elucidating many aspects of human disease. Herein is presented an overview of what makes Drosophila … Show more

“…Our data suggest that Loxl’s action as a transcriptional regulator may be conserved, which we can now explore in more detail utilizing the advantages of the Drosophila genetic system ( McGuire et al 2004 ; Allocca et al 2018 ; Heigwer et al 2018 ). Loxl2’s known interactions indicate that its role in aging could be through EMT which involves a transitional state that may be partially activated during aging ( Brabletz et al 2018 ) and interestingly EMT is even being pursued in age-related telomere shortening ( Imran et al 2021 ).…”

“…Furthermore, multiple-taste organs exist, such as the external Terminal Organ (TO, primary taste organ) and Ventral Organ (VO), and a number of internal pharyngeal and enteric sensory regions [ 106 , 108 , 109 ]. The complexity of the taste system creates an interesting evolutionary conundrum, since each Drosophila larva hatches, feeds, and undergoes pupal metamorphosis confined to the rotting fruit on which it was laid, spending most of the larval stage buried and continuously feeding in the flesh of the fruit [ 8 ]. At most, the larva must find patches of fruit at the optimum stage of fermentation.…”

“…Bu benzerlik korunmuş bölgelerde %80-%90'a kadar çıkmaktadır. Bu nedenlerle, D.melanogaster insanda görülen hastalıkların modellenmesine ve araştırılmasına uygun bir model olarak kabul edilmektedir 4,11,12 . çinko iyonlarına bağlanması engellenen insan mutant SOD1 proteini Drosophila'da ifade ettirilmiş ve mutant SOD1 ile mitokondri işlev bozukluğu arasındaki ilişkiyi destekleyen kanıtlar elde edilmiştir.…”
