Journal ArticleDOI
Retention of Ejaculate by Drosophila melanogaster Females Requires the Male-Derived Mating Plug Protein PEBme
Frank W. Avila,Allie B. Cohen,Fatima S. Ameerudeen,David Duneau,Shruthi Suresh,Alexandra L. Mattei,Mariana F. Wolfner +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that in Drosophila the PMP is required to retain the ejaculate within the female reproductive tract, ensuring the storage of sperm by mated females.
Journal ArticleDOI
The doublesex locus of Drosophila melanogaster and its flanking regions: a cytogenetic analysis.
TL;DR: The region of the third chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster that contains the doublesex (dsx) locus has been cytogenetically analyzed and the recent molecular findings that the dsx locus encodes sex-specific proteins that share in common their amino termini but have different carboxyl termini are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The lncRNA male-specific abdominal plays a critical role in Drosophila accessory gland development and male fertility.
Robert K. Maeda,Jessica L. Sitnik,Yohan Frei,Elodie Prince,Dragan Gligorov,Mariana F. Wolfner,François Karch +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a >65 kb, male-specific, lncRNA, called male- specific abdominal (msa) is required for the development of the secondary cells of the Drosophila male accessory gland.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of excessive endoplasmic reticulum stress in the Drosophila male accessory gland results in infertility.
TL;DR: The induction of strong ER stress in the insect male AG may provide a simple way for studying or manipulating male fertility, as it eliminates AG function while preserving sperm production.
