Diptera
An order of the class Insecta. Wings, when present, number two and distinguish Diptera from other so-called flies, while the halteres, or reduced hindwings, separate Diptera from other insects with one pair of wings. The order includes the families Calliphoridae, Oestridae, Phoridae, SARCOPHAGIDAE, Scatophagidae, Sciaridae, SIMULIIDAE, Tabanidae, Therevidae, Trypetidae, CERATOPOGONIDAE; CHIRONOMIDAE; CULICIDAE; DROSOPHILIDAE; GLOSSINIDAE; MUSCIDAE; TEPHRITIDAE; and PSYCHODIDAE. The larval form of Diptera species are called maggots (see LARVA).

HMG1 proteins from evolutionary distant organisms distort B-DNA conformation in similar way. (1/233)
The abundant high-mobility group proteins 1/2 (HMG1/2) represent a group of potent architectural elements of chromatin. They are able to induce strong bends and untwist DNA. Here, we compared the abilities of diverse HMG1 proteins to distort the B-DNA conformation of 30-base pair DNA fragment. The DNA bending was measured in solution by monitoring fluorescence resonance energy transfer between fluorescence probes attached to opposite ends of the DNA fragment. Various insect and plant proteins which differ in size, in composition of their HMG1-box domains (HMG1-BD), and in composition of the N- and the C-terminally flanking regions were analyzed in these experiments. Despite these structural differences the extent of the induced changes in DNA conformation upon binding to various proteins was similar, as the estimated bend angle was 150+/-20 degrees for all the tested proteins. Our results suggest that a set of highly conserved residues stabilizing the tertiary structure of the HMG1-BD mainly determines the extent of DNA bending in the complex. Even extended positively charged regions flanking the HMG1-BD are apparently not able to influence this conformational distortion of DNA. (+info)Identification of Chironomus kiiensis allergens, a dominant species of non-biting midges in Korea. (2/233)
Non-biting midges are known to contain potent inhalant allergens. IgE antibody responses to the crude extract of Chironomus kiiensis adults, a dominant chironomid species in Korea, were examined. With the IgE-ELISA or passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reactions, increased levels of chironomid-specific IgE were detected in the skin test positive human sera, or immunized BALB/c mouse sera with the crude extract adsorbed to alum. IgE-immunoblot analysis showed major IgE-reacting protein band patterns, which reacted with more than 50% of the skin test positive human sera, at 110, 80, 73, 46, 40, 37, 34, and 31 kDa. The reactive band patterns were largely similar between skin test positive humans and immune BALB/c mice. However, the bands of 55, 31, 27, 26, 24, and 23 kDa were found only in sensitized humans, but not in immunized mice. (+info)Electron tomography reveals posttranscriptional binding of pre-mRNPs to specific fibers in the nucleoplasm. (3/233)
Using electron tomography, we have analyzed whether the Balbiani ring (BR) pre-mRNP particles in transit from the gene to the nuclear pore complex (NPC) are bound to any structure that could impair free diffusion through the nucleoplasm. We show that one-third of the BR particles are in contact with thin connecting fibers (CFs), which in some cases merge into large fibrogranular clusters. The CFs have a specific protein composition different from that of BR particles, as shown by immuno-EM. Moreover, we have identified hrp65 as one of the protein components of the CFs. The sequencing of hrp65 cDNA reveals similarities with hnRNP proteins and splicing factors. However, hrp65 is likely to have a different function because it does not bind to nascent pre-mRNA and is not part of the pre-mRNP itself. Taken together, our observations indicate that pre-mRNPs are not always freely diffusible in the nucleoplasm but interact with fibers of specific structure and composition, which implies that some of the posttranscriptional events that the pre-mRNPs undergo before reaching the NPC occur in a bound state. (+info)The Ct-RAE1 protein interacts with Balbiani ring RNP particles at the nuclear pore. (4/233)
RAE1 is an evolutionarily conserved protein that associates with both mRNPs and nucleoporins, and may bridge the interaction between mRNP export cargoes and the nuclear pore complex (NPC). However, the mechanism by which RAE1 functions in mRNA export is still unknown and the time point at which RAE1 interacts with the exported RNP has not been directly investigated. Here we have addressed this question in the Balbiani ring (BR) system of Chironomus tentans using immunoelectron microscopy. The RAE1 protein of C. tentans, Ct-RAE1, is 70% identical to human RAE1/mrnp41 (hRAE1) and is recognized by antibodies raised against hRAE1. As in vertebrate cells, Ct-RAE1 is concentrated at the nuclear envelope and also dispersed throughout the nuclear interior. Here we show that Ct-RAE1 does not bind to the BR particle either cotranscriptionally or in the nucleoplasm. Instead, the interaction between Ct-RAE1 and the exported BR particle occurs at the NPC. Moreover, the localization of Ct-RAE1 at the NPC is correlated with the presence of an exported RNP in the NPC. Finally, the anti-RAE1 antibody does not label the cytoplasmic side of BR particles in transit through the central channel, which indicates that Ct-RAE1 either remains anchored at the nuclear side of the NPC during translocation of the RNP through the central channel or becomes transiently associated with the RNP but is rapidly released into the cytoplasm. (+info)Actin bound to the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein hrp36 is associated with Balbiani ring mRNA from the gene to polysomes. (5/233)
In the salivary glands of the dipteran Chironomus tentans, a specific messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) particle, the Balbiani ring (BR) granule, can be visualized during its assembly on the gene and during its nucleocytoplasmic transport. We now show with immunoelectron microscopy that actin becomes associated with the BR particle concomitantly with transcription and is present in the particle in the nucleoplasm. DNase I affinity chromatography experiments with extracts from tissue culture cells indicate that both nuclear and cytoplasmic actin are bound to the heterogeneous RNP (hnRNP) protein hrp36, but not to the hnRNP proteins hrp23 and hrp45. The interaction is likely to be direct as purified actin binds to recombinant hrp36 in vitro. Furthermore, it is demonstrated by cross linking that nuclear as well as cytoplasmic actin are bound to hrp36 in vivo. It is known that hrp36 is added cotranscriptionally along the BR mRNA molecule and accompanies the RNA through the nuclear pores and into polysomes. We conclude that actin is likely to be bound to the BR transcript via hrp36 during the transfer of the mRNA from the gene all the way into polysomes. (+info)Consecutive steps of phosphorylation affect conformation and DNA binding of the chironomus high mobility group A protein. (6/233)
The high mobility group (HMG) proteins of the AT-hook family (HMGA) lie downstream in regulatory networks with protein kinase C, Cdc2 kinase, MAP kinase, and casein kinase 2 (CK2) as final effectors. In the cells of the midge Chironomus, almost all of the HMGA protein (cHMGA) is phosphorylated by CK2 at two adjacent sites. 40% of the protein population is additionally modified by MAP kinase. Using spectroscopic and protein footprinting techniques, we analyzed how individual and consecutive steps of phosphorylation change the conformation of an HMGA protein and affect its contacts with poly(dA-dT).poly(dA-dT) and a fragment of the interferon-beta promoter. We demonstrate that phosphorylation of cHMGA by CK2 alters its conformation and modulates its DNA binding properties such that a subsequent phosphorylation by Cdc2 kinase changes the organization of the protein-DNA complex. In contrast, consecutive phosphorylation by MAP kinase, which results in a dramatic change in cHMGA conformation, has no direct effect on the complex. Because the phosphorylation of the HMGA proteins attenuates binding affinity and reduces the extent of contacts between the DNA and protein, it is likely that this process mirrors the dynamics and diversity of regulatory processes in chromatin. (+info)In situ transcription and splicing in the Balbiani ring 3 gene. (7/233)
The Balbiani ring 3 (BR3) gene contains 38 introns, and more than half of them are co-transcriptionally excised. We have determined the in situ structure of the active BR3 gene by electron tomography. Each of the 20-25 nascent transcripts on the gene is present together with splicing factors and the RNA polymerase II in a nascent transcript and splicing complex, here called the NTS complex. The results indicate that extensive changes in overall shape, substructure and molecular mass take place repeatedly within an NTS complex as it moves along the gene. The volume and calculated mass of the NTS complexes show that, maximally, one complete spliceosome is assembled on the multi-intron transcript at any given time point. The structural data show that the spliceosome is not a structurally well-defined unit in situ and that the C-terminal domain of the elongating RNA polymerase II cannot carry spliceosomal components for all introns in the BR3 transcript. Our data indicate that spliceosomal factors are continuously added to and released from the NTS complexes during transcription elongation. (+info)Assembly and transport of a premessenger RNP particle. (8/233)
Salivary gland cells in the larvae of the dipteran Chironomus tentans offer unique possibilities to visualize the assembly and nucleocytoplasmic transport of a specific transcription product. Each nucleus harbors four giant polytene chromosomes, whose transcription sites are expanded, or puffed. On chromosome IV, there are two puffs of exceptional size, Balbiani ring (BR) 1 and BR 2. A BR gene is 35-40 kb, contains four short introns, and encodes a 1-MDa salivary polypeptide. The BR transcript is packed with proteins into a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) fibril that is folded into a compact ring-like structure. The completed RNP particle is released into the nucleoplasm and transported to the nuclear pore, where the RNP fibril is gradually unfolded and passes through the pore. On the cytoplasmic side, the exiting extended RNP fibril becomes engaged in protein synthesis and the ensuing polysome is anchored to the endoplasmic reticulum. Several of the BR particle proteins have been characterized, and their fate during the assembly and transport of the BR particle has been elucidated. The proteins studied are all added cotranscriptionally to the pre-mRNA molecule. The various proteins behave differently during RNA transport, and the flow pattern of each protein is related to the particular function of the protein. Because the cotranscriptional assembly of the pre-mRNP particle involves proteins functioning in the nucleus as well as proteins functioning in the cytoplasm, it is concluded that the fate of the mRNA molecule is determined to a considerable extent already at the gene level.
