Lysine residues are subject to many forms of covalent modification and one such
modification is acetylation of the ε-amino group. Initially identified on histone proteins in the …

The lysine acetyltransferase 6 (KAT6) histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complexes are highly
conserved from yeast to higher organisms. They acetylate histone H3 and other nonhistone …

Cadmium (chemical symbol, Cd) is an extremely common pollutant that poses a toxicity
threat to organisms. Therefore, we tested Drosophila melanogaster fecundity, Cd …

Gametogenesis is one of the most extreme cellular differentiation processes that takes place
in Drosophila male and female germlines. This process begins at the germline stem cell …

Cell-intrinsic and extrinsic signals regulate the state and fate of stem and progenitor cells.
Recent advances in metabolomics illustrate that various metabolic pathways are also …

Gametogenesis represents the most dramatic cellular differentiation pathways in both
female and male flies. At the genome level, meiosis ensures that diploid germ cells become …

Epigenetics plays critical roles in controlling stem cell self-renewal and differentiation.
Histone H1 is one of the most critical chromatin regulators, but its role in adult stem cell …

Maternal mRNAs synthesized during oogenesis initiate the development of future
generations. Some maternal mRNAs are either somatic or germline determinants and must …

The Drosophila larval ovary morphogenesis mainly involves coordinated development of
somatic and germ cell lineages that is essential for forming a correct number of niche …

The RNA‐binding Fox‐1 homologue (Rbfox) proteins represent an ancient family of splicing
factors, conserved through evolution. All members share an RNA recognition motif (RRM) …
