developmental cascade of morphogens define drosophila body plan
DESCRIPTION
The expression of genes in specific regions of the early Drosophila embryo determine the anterior-posterior and dorso-ventral axes of the organism. Expression of these genes are both spatially and temporally coordinated.TRANSCRIPT

The “Gap” Genes, “Pair Rule” and “Segment Polarity” Genes
![Page 19: Developmental cascade of morphogens Define Drosophila Body Plan](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/559370cd1a28abde758b45ee/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Gap Gene Proteins Maintain Gradients By Mutual Inhibition
A) bcd and nos maternal transcripts are tightly localized at the anterior and posterior poles of the unfertilized egg Shortly after fertilization, bcd transcripts are translated, and the resulting protein diffuses posteriorly, generating a gradient; similarly, nos transcripts are thought to generate an opposing gradient of nos
(B) The hb protein gradient then provides a series of concentration thresholds that independently dictate where the anterior Kr, kni, and gt boundaries, as well as the posterior Kr boundary
Nos

Regulation of Even Skipped by Gap Gene Products
Giant and Kruppel Repressors and Knirps and Hunchback delimit expression borders of the even-skipped stripes 3,4, 6 and 7 (see Figure 2, panel C). Two corresponding regulatory regions, 4+6 and 3+7 enhancers encode all sufficient transcriptional information for these four stripes. The eve stripes 4 and 6 are formed in the embryo zones with lower concentration of hunchback and higher concentration of Knirps, conversely the eve stripes 3 and 7 are formed where hunchback concentration is greater than that of Knirps.

Dorsal Side is Determined by Absence of “Dorsal” Protein

VDorsal proteinConcentrated in nuclei
Dorsal proteinConcentrated in Cytoplasm
Dorsal protein binds to regulatory DNA that turns on mesoderm and nervous system genes and turns off dorsal genes
