Journal ArticleDOI
Mosaic analysis with a repressible cell marker for studies of gene function in neuronal morphogenesis.
Tzumin Lee,Liqun Luo +1 more
TL;DR: A genetic mosaic system in Drosophila is described, in which a dominant repressor of a cell marker is placed in trans to a mutant gene of interest, which allows for the study of gene functions in neuroblast proliferation, axon guidance, and dendritic elaboration in the complex central nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of the Drosophila mushroom bodies: sequential generation of three distinct types of neurons from a neuroblast
Tzumin Lee,Arthur Lee,Liqun Luo +2 more
TL;DR: The cellular organization of mushroom bodies and the development of different MB neurons at the single cell level is illustrated to allow for future studies on the molecular mechanisms of mushroom body development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Essential Roles of Drosophila RhoA in the Regulation of Neuroblast Proliferation and Dendritic but Not Axonal Morphogenesis
TL;DR: The use of the MARCM (mosaic analysis with a repressible cell marker) system to analyze the function of RhoA in the developing Drosophila brain found it to be required for neuroblast (Nb) proliferation but not for neuronal survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell-Autonomous Requirement of the USP/EcR-B Ecdysone Receptor for Mushroom Body Neuronal Remodeling in Drosophila
TL;DR: This study demonstrates cell-autonomous roles for EcR/USP in controlling neuronal remodeling, potentially through novel downstream targets, and finds that the EcR-B1 isoform is specifically expressed in the MB gamma neurons, and is required for the pruning of larval processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genghis Khan (Gek) as a putative effector for Drosophila Cdc42 and regulator of actin polymerization.
TL;DR: The results suggest that this multidomain protein kinase is an effector for the regulation of actin polymerization by Cdc42, Genghis Khan (Gek), which binds to Dcdc42 in a GTP-dependent and effector domain-dependent manner.
