How dys expression is regulated? How Dys:Tgo regulates down-stream target genes?
Ongoing…… • How dys expression is regulated? • Is dys auto-regulated by Dys:Tgo? • N283-GFP,dys/Tm3, twi-gal4, UAS-GFP • C1.7-GFP, dys/TM3, twi-gal4, UAS-GFP • Is dys regulated by esg? • esg/cyo, twi-gal4, UAS-GFP; N283 • esg/cyo, twi-gal4, UAS-GFP; C1.7 • Identify other transcription factors binding sites in dys enhancer. • Identify dys fusion cells enhancer in C1.7 and G1.7
Summary of dys Function Dys Tgo Dys Dys Tgo Tgo N Identified dys Targets CG13196, E-cadherin (cell adhesion) TCGTG CG15252 (unknown function) members only (Protein trafficking) Trachealess (Migration)
Potential Co-activator of Dys:Tgo is Required to Turn on Gene Expression in Additional Fusion Cells
