The serine protease homolog Skanda modulates Toll-Phenoloxidase-mediated immunity in Drosophila

Sanjana Vasanth, Yang Wang, Nathan Klotz, Anzer Khan, Chao Xiong, Jean‐Philippe Boquete, Tisheng Shan, Prince Kumar Sah, Haobo Jiang, Bruno Lemaître

This study identifies Skanda, a serine protease homolog, as a modulator of the Toll-phenoloxidase immune cascade in Drosophila, showing it dampens Hayan activation and contributes to immune response.

Editing-independent effects of Adar in Drosophila melanogaster

Khadija Hajji, Damiano Amoruso, Barbora Novakova, Nagraj Sambrani, Deying Yang, Anzer Khan, Vojtěch Bystrý, Alejandro Medaglia-Mata, Domenico Alessandro Silvestris, Ernesto Picardi, Mary A. O’Connell, Liam P. Keegan

This study investigates the effects of Adar in Drosophila melanogaster, showing that overexpression of certain Adar isoforms leads to larval lethality and aberrant immune responses, with partial rescue through epigenetic modulation.
