The Drosophila larval neuromuscular system is relatively simple, containing only 32 motor
neurons in each abdominal hemisegment, and its neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) have …

The Drosophila larval neuromuscular junction has recently emerged as a powerful model
system to characterize the cellular and molecular events involved in the formation and …

IMMUNOGLOBULIN and T-cell receptor (TCR) molecules are central to the adaptive
immune system. Sequence conservation, similarities in domain structure, and usage of …

In Drosophila, the most widely used system for generating spatially restricted transgene
expression is based on the yeast GAL4 protein and its target upstream activating sequence …

Neuromuscular preparations from third instar larvae of Drosophila are not well-maintained in
commonly used physiological solutions: vacuoles form in the muscle fibers, and membrane …

We used the enhancer detection/GAL4 system in Drosophila to direct increased levels of
Fasciclin II (Fas II) expression on motoneuron growth cones and axons and to direct ectopic …

An experimental analysis of neurogenesis requires a detailed understanding of wild-type
neural development. Recent DiI cell lineage studies have begun to elucidate the family of …

We have used a retrograde labeling technique to identify motorneurons for each of the 30
body wall muscles of an abdominal hemisegment in the late stage 16 Drosophila embryo …

Discs large (DLG) mediates the clustering of synaptic molecules. Here we demonstrate that
synaptic localization of DLG itself is regulated by CaMKII. We show that DLG and CaMKII …
