Q

Why does Numb need to go to GMC?

A

inhibits other pathways to let mother cells divide and make 2 neurons. If it stays, inhibits neuroblast division.

Q

Sp2a/b in notch mutant (KO notch)

A

2x Sp2B

26
Q

Sp2a/b in notch increase mutant

A

2x Sp2a

27
Q

Sp2b –>

A

Neuron and support cell

Neuron inhibits support cell by notch

28
Q

Sp2a –>

A

Socket and Shaft

Socket inhibits Shaft via notch

29
Q

What is Sp2b not effected by notch?

A

NUMB in Sp2B inhibits it.

30
Q

Sevenless Pathway

A

Boss - ligand
Sev- receptor

Boss –> Sev –> MapK (erk) –> Yan and Prkd –> R7 program.

31
Q

R7 in 7less path

A

UV sensitive, last to join/differentiate

Has the Sev receptor, needs BOSS ligand from R8

32
Q

Neural lineage in drosophilia is determined by

A
lateral inhibition (notch/delta) 
neuronal fate = transcription factors
33
Q

Why asymmetric division?

A

Allow for functionally linked cells with identity

34
Q

Chicken and Quail transplant of cholinergic and adrenergic neurons

A

V: S7, Cholinergic (para)
T (low): S18, adrenergic neurons (sym)

If transplants to wrong area, respond to environment cues to become the other.

35
Q

Wnt (late)

A

Sensory

36
Q

BMP2/4 and CTGF beta 1-3

A

ANS

37
Q

Nrg-1

A

Schwann (glia)

38
Q

Nrg vs. Ngn

A

Nrg- neuregulin, secreted by neurons

Ngn- neurogenin, proneural

39
Q

BMPs in dorsal aorta (sym ganglia) –>

A

Mash1 and Phox26

40
Q

Mash 1

A

proneural bHLH transcription factor
creates neuron specific stuff

turns on neuron program, gets neurofilaments/microtubules you need to stabilize axons/dendrites

41
Q

Phox26 –>

A

TH- rate limited step in dopamine production

D-beta-H: makes NE

42
Q

Early Wnt

A

Sensory and BHLH/Nrgn2, needs early wnt to get here

43
Q

FGF

A

Neurites to come off.
Encourages microtubules
Encourages TH/DBH
Turns on NGF Receptor - Can’t Skip this step!

44
Q

Once FGF activates NGF, what does that do?

A

acts on NGFR, fully differentiate/survivor

sym neuron survival

45
Q

Fully differentiate neurons release ___ for next cells

A

Neurogenin

46
Q

Remove wnt in environment;

A

no sensory neurons, but you can make everything else respond to future signals even though you missed the first.

47
Q

Don’t control duration/location of signals:

A

wnt too big/long signal, more cells stuck and can’t migrate on, lose too many neurons, stuck in wnt cycle.

48
Q

If you culture Arota + neural crest OR BMP7 + neural crest, what happens?

A

Adrenergic neurons (NE)

49
Q

Rodent Feet: Hairy vs. Foot Pads

A

Hair- no sweat, NE

Foot Pad- sweat, acetyl

50
Q

How does foot pad work?

A

release NE, stop at target
Food pad releases CNT/LIF to change phenotype

acetyl program on: CAT (acetyltransferase)
NE program off (TH/DBH)

51
Q

Experiment with sweat glands on hairy skin and parotid gland tissue:

A

sweat glands: cholinergic
parotid: NE (adrenergic)
Matches transplant

52
Q

Nrg-1 makes glia by…

A

telling newcomers you’re too late: no more neurons. More Nrg-1= more likely glia. More neurons = more cells making it.

53
Q

Experiment: Crest cell ganglia treated with +Nrg-1 or delta

A

Mostly Glia, 10% neuron

54
Q

Experiment: crest cell ganglia, treated with -NRG-1 and +BMP2
