Altering the temporal regulation of one transcription factor drives sensory trade-offs

Ariane Ramaekers, Annelies Claeys, Martin Kapun, Emmanuèle Mouchel‐Vielh, Delphine Potier, Simon Weinberger, Nicola Grillenzoni, Delphine Dardalhon-Cuménal, Jiekun Yan, Reinhard Wolf, Thomas Flatt, Erich Buchner, Bassem A. Hassan

The paper shows that changes in the temporal regulation of the eyeless gene drive sensory trade-offs between visual and olfactory organs in Drosophila species.

Post-transcriptional modulation of Dscam1 enhances axonal growth in development and after injury

Marta Koch, Maya Nicolas, Marlen Zschaetzsch, Natalie De Geest, Annelies Claeys, Jiekun Yan, Matthew Morgan, Maria‐Luise Erfurth, Matthew G. Holt, Dietmar Schmucker, Bassem A. Hassan

This study identifies a conserved signaling pathway involving Dscam1, Faf/Usp9x, and JNK that promotes axonal growth in Drosophila and mammals after CNS injury.

The Drosophila Neurogenin, Tap, controls axonal growth through the Wnt adaptor protein Dishevelled

Liqun Yuan, Shu Hu, Zeynep Okray, Xi Ren, Natalie De Geest, Annelies Claeys, Jiekun Yan, Eric Bellefroid, Bassem Hassan, Xiao-Jiang Quan

This study shows that Tap, the Drosophila Neurogenin homologue, regulates axonal growth by controlling Dishevelled levels in the Wnt pathway.
