Journal ArticleDOI
Calcineurin-dependent Protein Phosphorylation Changes During Egg Activation in Drosophila melanogaster.
TL;DR: The results show that calcineurin regulates hundreds of phosphosites and also influences the abundance of numerous proteins during egg activation, and is found in cell cycle regulators including Fizzy, Greatwall, and Endosulfine and in important components of signaling pathways including GSK3β and Akt1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Dissection of YA, an Essential, Developmentally Regulated Nuclear Lamina Protein in Drosophila melanogaster
Jun Liu,Mariana F. Wolfner +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the C-terminal 179 amino acids of YA are necessary to target, or retain, YA in the nuclear envelope, and by immunoprecipitation that YA molecules are present in complexes with each other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of sperm from female storage sites has egg-influenced and egg-independent phases in Drosophila melanogaster
TL;DR: This work quantified sperm exit from storage in three types of female: genetically matched females that were normal or eggless, and an additional wild-type control, which indicated opportunities for both cooperation and conflict between the sexes in sperm storage dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in Postmating Transcriptional Responses between Conspecific and Heterospecific Matings in Drosophila
TL;DR: The results show that the female’s postmating transcriptome-level response is determined in part by the genotype of the male, and that divergence in male reproductive genes and/or traits can have immunogenic effects on females.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporally Variable Selection on Proteolysis-Related Reproductive Tract Proteins in Drosophila
TL;DR: A population genetic survey of 44 reproductive tract-expressed proteases, protease inhibitors, and targets of proteolysis in Drosophila melanogaster and Dosophila simulans suggests that positive selection on this group of genes is temporally heterogeneous.
