Normal p21N-ras couples bombesin and other growth factor receptors to inositol phosphate production.
Michael J.O. Wakelam,Shireen A. Davies,Miles D. Houslay,Ian McKay,Christopher J. Marshall,Alan Hall +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the expression of normal p21N–ras in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts leads to the coupling of certain growth factor receptors to stimulated inositol phosphate production, and it is proposed that the N-ras proto-oncogene encodes a protein which couples the receptors for certain growth factors to the stimulation of phospholipase C.
Journal ArticleDOI
FlyAtlas 2: a new version of the Drosophila melanogaster expression atlas with RNA-Seq, miRNA-Seq and sex-specific data
TL;DR: Gene coverage has been extended by the inclusion of microRNAs and many of the RNA genes included in Release 6 of the Drosophila reference genome, and the web interface has been modified to accommodate the extra data, but at the same time has been adapted for viewing on small mobile devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Function-informed transcriptome analysis of Drosophila renal tubule
Jing-jing Wang,Laura Kean,Jingli Yang,Adrian K. Allan,Shireen A. Davies,Pawel Herzyk,Julian A. T. Dow +6 more
TL;DR: A radically new view of the function of the tubule, emphasizing solute transport rather than fluid secretion, can be obtained from those genes that are identifiable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two nitridergic peptides are encoded by the gene capability in Drosophila melanogaster
Laura Kean,William Cazenave,Laurence Costes,Kate E. Broderick,Shirley Graham,Valerie P. Pollock,Shireen A. Davies,Jan A. Veenstra,Julian A. T. Dow +8 more
TL;DR: The capa gene is the first to be shown to encode neuropeptides that act on renal fluid production through nitric oxide and is shown to be not synergistic, implying that both act on the same pathways in tubules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of a leucokinin-like peptide of Drosophila melanogaster
Selim Terhzaz,F.C. O'Connell,V.P. Pollock,L. Kean,Shireen A. Davies,Jan A. Veenstra,Julian A. T. Dow +6 more
TL;DR: The genomic sequence encoding the DLK peptide has been identified, and the gene has been named pp.E3-70F4 of chromosome 3L, and it is suggested that this first Drosophila LK gene in a genetic model permits a genetic analysis of the locus.
