项目摘要
The morphogenesis of a complex organism depends upon the execution of an
intricate genetic hierarchy that provides individual cells with
positional and cell fate information. In Drosophila the homeotic
selector genes play a central role in this hierarchy because they
interpret positional information and determine cell fate. These genes
have highly conserved homologs in many animals, including humans,
suggesting that their analysis in Drosophila may be a key to
understanding vertebrate development as well. The molecular dissection
of vertebrate development will, in turn, provide insights into human
diseases, including birth defects and various cancers, that appear to
result from mistakes in the execution of this genetic hierarchy.
Drosophila is an especially well suited organism in which to study this
hierarchy because of its experimental versatility, particularly with
regard to its molecular biology and genetics. The homeotic selector
genes provide an attractive entry into these studies because of the large
amount of genetic and molecular information already available. The
products of these genes all contain the DNA-binding homeodomain and act,
at least in part, by regulating the transcription of downstream target
genes. The experiments proposed here have two complementary goals: to
identify and characterize target genes that are regulated by the homeotic
selector gene, Ultrabithorax, and to understand in detail how homeotic
selector proteins regulate target gene expression. The first goal will
be approached in two ways. A subtractive hybridization approach has
succeeded in isolating 20 genes that are induced by Ultrabithorax gene
products. Three of these genes appear to be bona fide downstream target
genes and will be studied in detail. A genetic approach involves
isolating dominant mutations that enhance or suppress
Ultrabithorax-induced homeotic transformations. Genes identified in this
screen will be examined to determine if they are indeed Ultrabithorax
target genes. If they appear to be true target genes they will be
further characterized by DNA sequencing, determining their in vivo
spatial and temporal expression patterns, and examining their genetic
interactions with other homeotic mutations. The second goal of this
proposal is to better understand how homeotic selector proteins regulate
target gene expression. Ibis will be accomplished by making mutant
Ultrabithorax proteins and studying them using in vivo assays that
measure homeotic protein functions. Assays are already available for
studying functions required during embryonic development. In addition to
these, new in vivo assays will be developed to measure Ultrabithorax
functions required for adult morphogenesis. These in vivo studies will
be paralleled by experiments utilizing new assays that measure the in
vitro DNA binding properties of mutant Ultrabithorax proteins. These
experiments will determine if particular mutations affect Ultrabithorax
functions by affecting their ability to bind DNA or by affecting some
other property, such as specific protein-protein interactions.
