28
Q

How many cells are usually in the primary branch?

29
Q

How many stereotypical positions for cell migration is there in primary branches?

30
Q

FGFr adapter protein is called

31
Q

Which chemoattractants are the 6 primary branches moving towards?

A
  • FGF
  • WG
  • BMP
32
Q

[T/F] Suppression of FGF through only FGF mutation (bnl) causes issues in tracheal development.

A

False. Any mutations in FGF signalling (i.e. FGFr mutant btl) can cause issues.

33
Q

How many types of FGF in drosophila?

34
Q

How many types of FGF in humans?

35
Q

What are some cellular mechanism FGF is used for?

A 
Branching
Patterning
Differentiation 
Cell proliferation 
Cell survival
36
Q

How many types of FGFr in drosophila?

37
Q

How many types of FGFr in humans?

38
Q

[T/F] FGF is a powerful chemoattractant that promotes cell extension to the direction of the FGF source.

39
Q

FGFr adapter protein is called

40
Q

Describe one pathway downstream to FGF

A

FGF > bind to FGFr > Dof (adapter) >
> Grb2/drk > Sos > phosphorylate Ras >
> src64 >
> Raf > MEK/Dsor > MAPK/erk > Pnt + Ap1

41
Q

What is one possible explanation of the FGF source locations being the same in every scenario.

A

Global segment patterning system

42
Q

[T/F] Activation of Raf is essential to FGF signalling pathway

A

True. Raf is the only protein that can activate MAPK and lead to transcription factor Pnt to be activated

43
Q

In a normal circumstance where placeodes are already formed, do the pit formation mechanism also follow? Why?

A

Yes it does. Trh which leads to placeodes, also activate btl, dof and rho

44
Q

Which 3 proteins are produced downstream of Trh>

A

btl, dof, rho

45
Q

What are the cells closest to FGF sources called?

46
Q

How many tip cells follow FGF sources in primary branching?

47
Q

[T/F] FGF leads to lamillepodia formation in tip cells

A

False. Filopodia is formed

48
Q

Can filopodia formation be rescued with ectopic insertion of FGF?

49
Q

[T/F] There is a pulling behaviour by tip cells on cells in the back.

50
Q

What is one possible explanation of the FGF source locations being the same in every scenario.

A

Global segment patterning system

51
Q

How many secondary branches come from 1 placeode?

52
Q

[T/F] All secondary branches merge with neighbouring secondary branches.

A

No. Only fusion cells are responsible for that. T

53
Q

How many fusion cells per placeode?

54
Q

When in AEL do secondary branches start growing?

55
Q

When in AEL do fushion cells start growing?

56
Q

Describe how FGF expression is different in 2* branches compared to 1* branches.

A

In 2* branches, FGF sources are dynamic. The FGF concentrations come in multiple concentrations at different time intervals. The sources also move slightly farther in each interval. The second wave causes 2* branches.

57
Q

3* branches are formed in response to what?

58
Q

Sprouty inhibits what?

A

Tyrosine Receptor Kinase signalling

59
Q

What problems are seen in the absence of sprouty?

A

Excessive 2* branches in wrong time and place

60
Q

[T/F] Branching is followed by physical and adhesion molecules, other than just chemoattractants

61
Q

Draw the reiterated pathways for 1/2/3* branching.

62
Q

Which transcription factor is needed for 2* branching

63
Q

Which transcription factor is needed for 2* branching
