摘要: Studies in the Drosophila embryonic NB4-2 lineage have suggested that transcription factor Klumpfuss (Klu) functions within neuroblast lineages to differentiate between identities of two adjacent ganglion mother cells (GMCs). However, because limited markers available, these observations been made only for lineage. Recent findings placed this vanguard neural stem cell biology by demonstrating Klu is necessary larval growth and self-renewal. Here, we studied role klu an incipient model order address basic mechanisms specification: Va system. None previously reported roles satisfactorily explain our observations. Unexpectedly, lineage, differentiating fates neurons born from a unique GMC; mutants produce B-type cells, rather than one (Notch-OFF) A-type (Notch-ON) cell. Additionally, results demonstrate operates GMC and/or newly neuron, but not neuroblast. Unlike neuroblasts which executor Notch signaling, found does lie downstream pathway division context.
