About the #nuclear #porecomplex (#NPC) #protein #Nup107 regulating broader #neuroendocrine functions in #fly larval #brains. The authors J. Kawadkar et al. (2026) in experiments reduced the Nup107 protein that enables #moleculetransfer between nucleus and cellular cytoplasma in #fruitflies using suitable genetic tools. According to the authors, there is a wider context between the protein and larval #developmentalprocesses based on the #steroidhormone #ecdysone.

Preprint is here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.01.22.576657v1 Could Wall misexpression be affecting the regulation of Pri peptides? Perhaps a non-20E ecdysteroid is involved? Would explain defects in trachea too, development of which is also controlled by Pri. I speculate a little about this in the preprint but paper in the previous post makes this link even more tantalisingly possible…

How environmental microbes boost fruit fly reproduction

For many of us, when we think of microbiomes, our first thoughts are probably about the beneficial microorganisms that live in our guts. But now, researchers from Japan and the US have discovered how the microbes living in fruit flies can enhance their reproduction.

Adapting to climate change: Mutation enables flour beetles to speed up their development

Leiden biologists have found a mutation in flour beetles that allows them to speed up their development. They think that more insects can change their growth rate, which could help them adjust to climate change. The study has been published in Nature Ecology & Evolution.
