Q

gap gene (Kruppel) spatial pattern is specified by what maternal gene? what would happen if this maternal genes gradient were extended two times past the normal? What would have caused that?

A

Hunchback defines kruppel expression. If the hunchback gradient were extended 2x (by 2x overexpression of bicoid which activates it) then kruppel expression would be pushed posterior by extra hunchback expression- kruppel expression is activated by a medium concentration of hunchback and repressed by too high concentration of hunchback. Makes a perfect line

Q

what is the interaction between Cyp26 and Retinoic acid? where does this interaction take place and what gradient does it establish

A

in the hindbrain, Retinoic acid (steroid released from somites that triggers Hox gene expression in cells with RA receptors)
generates a Caudal-Rostral gradient (more concentrated in the posterior hindbrain than the anterior). Cyp26 is an enzyme that degrades RA, and there is more released in the anterior hindbrain than the posterior.

Q

Retinoic acid relationship with Hox genes. (hint: remember that Hox genes are organized numerically on the genome

A

Retinoic acid causes the transcription of Hox genes in cells that have retinoic acid receptors, the number of different Hox genes (say 1 through 4 compared to 1 through 6) is determined by the amount of Retinoic acid available for uptake. The more concentrated the retinoic acid, the more hox genes there are transcribed

Q

initially a cluster of cells in drosophila expresses ____ genes

A

AS-C (achaete Scute Complex)- proneural

70
Q

what becomes the neuroblast in an achaete-scute mutant fly?

A

No cells- achaete scute complex is proneural, if there is no AS-C signalling, then there is no neurogenesis

71
Q

What becomes the neuroblast in a notch-delta mutant?

A

Every cell in the cluster. Notch-delta is what turns off the achaete scute (proneural) signalling

72
Q

the cell in the cluster that produces the most ________ becomes the neuroblast?

A

the cell that produces the most delta becomes the neuroblast because every cell in the complex is already producing notch (receptor) and AS-C (proneural). Whichever cell produces the most DElta DEactivates the other neurogenic cells by binding to notch, in other cells -> binding causes protease to break off a notch fragment -> notch fragment inhibits the AS-C complex enhancer (Enhancer of split). The cell that is producing the most delta continues to produce AS-C.

AS-C initially enhances delta levels so technically more AS-C -> more delta -> more AS-C

73

A

proliferating- apical

postmitotic- basal

77
Q

is symmetric division or asymmetric division of neural progenitors more common early in development

A

symmetric division is more common early in development because a symmetric (vertical) division creates two new progenitors, whereas an asymmetric (“horizontal”) division only produces one new progenitor and one new neuron. want more progenitors to extend neural tube

78
Q

cell that retains ______ upon asymmetric division remains a progenitor

A

adherens junction

79
Q

asymmetric division, basal inheritance of _____ and ____ proteins result in _____ inhibition and neuronal differentiation

A

Numb and Prox1 are basally inherited (postmitotic neuron fate) proteins that inhibit Notch. Notch can no longer inhibit proneural gene transcription

80
Q

asymmetric division- apical inheritance of _____ and _____ activate _____ which results in the inhibition of proneural genes and remaining progenitor

A

apical inheritance (progenitor neuron fate) of mlnsc and par complex proteins results in activation of Notch which inhibits transcription of proneural genes and causes further progenitor proliferation

81
Q

does the cell cycle of progenitors lengthen or shorten as development progresses? why?

A

cell cycle lengthens so you don’t over populate the brain

82
Q

what type of radial migration happens later in development and is dependent on radial glia- climbs on radial glia

A

locomotion

98
Q

when antibody to astrotactin is added to culture of migrating neurons, what happens?

Q

sensory bristle differentiation- what causes SOPIIA cells to become socket cells? what does the other cell become?

A

Numb protein is not proportionally shared, so it is not able to inhibit notch which causes it to become socket. In BRISTLE cell, retained numb inhibits notch.

112
Q

sensory bristle differentiation- what causes SOPIIB cells to become neurons? what does the other cell become?

A

numb expression is disproportionately split, future neuron retains more numb which inhibits notch. future glial sheath cell does not retain enough numb to inhibit its notch, which inhibits neural fate

113
Q

what drosophila photoreceptor cell shows up first in a cluster to differentiate others

A

R8

114
Q

photoreceptor cell differentiation- hedgehog is expressed from what end of the eye disk? what proneural factor does it turn on?

A

posterior, differentiation of photoreceptor cells occurs in a posterior-anterior wave. spacing accomplished by lateral inhibition from notch signaling. Hh turns on bHLH proneural factor ATONAL

115
Q

a fly that is lacking ultraviolet sight is lacking sight either due to lack of ___ or ___ gene function(Receptor or ligand)

A

could be lacking due to boss (bride of sevenless) or sevenless (receptor tyrosine kinase that creates a cascade for the cell to an R7 fate when it binds to boss protein

116
Q

TF marker for corticospinal motor neurons (layer V) with zinc fingers

A

Fezf2

117
Q

a knockout of ______ leads to no spinal cord mn projections from cortical layer V or Corticospinal motorneuron cell bodies in cortical layer V

A

Fezf2

118
Q

Fezf2 from cortical layer IV induces the expression of many genes in cortical layer V, but the most important one (for axonal guidanceto the spinal cord) is ____

A

EphB1- Ephrin binding receptor

119
Q

produced in what order, neurons, oligodendrocytes, astrocytes

A

neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes

120
Q

bHLH TFs that act as genetic switches to control neuronal vs glial production

A

Olig1 and 2

121
Q

differentiation 2 slide 12

A

yes

122
Q

a neural projection with the + end of a microtubule pointing toward the terminal is a ______

A

an axon. + end is kinesin, taking things away from cell

123
Q

after severing an axon, how would you predict which process will become the new axon?

A

the process that ends up with ALL of the cells kinesin
