Turandot M (TotM) encodes a protein that belongs to a class of poorly characterized secreted peptides. Some Turandot genes are expressed in response to stress in the fat body by the JAK-STAT pathway.

GEO12728p1; Listericin (Listericin) encodes an antibacterial protein whose induction is cooperatively regulated by the product of PGRP-LE and the JAK-STAT pathway.

Tyrosine-protein kinase hopscotch; Tyrosine kinase of the non-receptor type, phosphorylates the marelle protein. Required maternally for the establishment of the normal array of embryonic segments: involved in the control of pair- rule gene transcription in a stripe-specific manner. Together with Hsp83 and piwi, mediates canalization, also known as developmental robustness, likely via epigenetic silencing of existing genetic variants and suppression of transposon-induced new genetic variation.

Protein immune deficiency; Essential for the imd/NF-kappa-B (Imd) humoral and epithelial immune response to Gram-negative bacteria. Functions as an adapter protein that transduces immunity signals from the activation of pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) by bacterial infection to the Imd signaling pathway. Binding of diaminopimelic acid-type (DAP-type) bacterial peptidoglycans (PGN) causes multimerization or clustering of PGRP receptors which activate the Imd cascade probably by recruiting imd, Fadd and Dredd to the receptor complex. Once in proximity, Dredd cleaves imd in a Fadd-de [...]

Cytokine receptor; Critical for epithelial morphogenesis during oogenesis; border cell migration. Required in the germarium for the polarization of follicle cells during encapsulation of germline cells. Required for embryonic segmentation and trachea specification. Essential receptor molecule for upd and JAK/STAT signaling during oogenesis.

LD04844p; It is involved in the biological process described with: positive regulation of hemocyte proliferation.

Protein Turandot A; A humoral factor that plays a role in stress tolerance; gives increased resistance to the lethal effects of bacterial challenge and stress. Regulated by the JAK/STAT pathway and NF-KB-like Relish pathway in the fat body, upd3 in the hemocytes and Mekk1 in response to septic injury and consequent immune response. Belongs to the Turandot family.

Unpaired 3 (upd3) encodes a "cytokine" (secreted protein) of the Unpaired family that can bind and activate the JAK-STAT receptor encoded by dome. It is induced in hemocytes or in the intestine upon damage to regulate the repair response in these tissues through JAK-STAT activation.

Dicer-2, isoform A; Dicer-2 (Dcr-2) encodes a member of the RNase III family of double-stranded RNA-specific endonucleases. It acts in the RNAi pathway by cutting long dsRNA into siRNAs. It helps defend flies against viral infection, particularly RNA viruses. It also processes long, partially double-stranded endogenous transcripts (hairpin RNAs) into endo-siRNAs.
