Insulin regulates systemic lipid traffic in starving animals

L. C. Trautenberg, M. Fedorova, M. Brankatschk

This study shows that insulin-like peptides 2 and 5 regulate lipid transport and storage in starving Drosophila melanogaster, enhancing starvation resistance.

Diet and heat - one neuronal subset two responses

E. Prince, J. Kretzschmar, L. C. Trautenberg, M. Brankatschk

This study identifies a dual role for dIlp7-producing neurons in Drosophila, showing they regulate development at high temperatures and modulate insulin signaling in response to diet.

Sterols as dietary markers for Drosophila melanogaster

O. Knittelfelder, E. Prince, S. Sales, E. Fritzsche, T. Woehner, M. Brankatschk, A. Shevchenko

The paper identifies sterol ratios as a marker for dietary shifts in Drosophila melanogaster during cold acclimation, offering a simpler alternative to full lipidome analysis.

Crumbs organizes the transport machinery by regulating apical levels of PI(4,5)P2 in Drosophila

J. Lattner, W. Leng, E. Knust, M. Brankatschk, D. Flores-Benitez

This study shows Crumbs regulates apical PI(4,5)P2 levels by organizing transport machinery in Drosophila, affecting secretion and membrane structure.

Selective phosphorylation of AKT isoforms in response to dietary cues

L. C. Trautenberg, E. Prince, C. Maas, N. Beier, F. Honold, M. Grzybek, M. Brankatschk

The paper identifies specific AKT isoforms that respond to dietary lipid extracts and enhance insulin signaling, positioning Drosophila as a model for studying lipid cue-insulin signaling relationships.
