bcd | Homeotic protein bicoid; Segment polarity protein that provides positional cues for the development of head and thoracic segments. Regulates the expression of zygotic genes, possibly through its homeodomain, and inhibits the activity of other maternal gene products. May also bind RNA. Interacts with Bin1 to repress transcription of bicoid target genes in the anterior tip of the embryo; a process known as retraction. (494 aa) | ||||
Tollo | Toll-like receptor Tollo; Toll-related receptor. Probably specific to larval innate immunity. Involved in the tracheal immune response of larvae to Gram-negative and perhaps Gram-positive bacteria; upon infection it negatively regulates the immune deficiency (Imd) signaling cascade specifically in the respiratory epithelium to prevent the overexpression of antimicrobial peptides (AMP). Involved in the NF-kappa-B-dependent apoptosis of unfit cells during cell competition. Involved in neuron-specific glycosylation. Positively controls the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) growth in presynapti [...] (1346 aa) |
