Project description:In Drosophila melanogaster, successful development relies on the precise coordination of both spatial and temporal regulatory axes. The temporal axis governs stage-specific identity and developmental transitions through a number of genes, collectively forming the Metamorphic Gene Network. Among these, Ecdysone inducible protein 93F (E93) serves as the critical determinant for adult specification, but its mechanism of action remains unclear. Here, we found that, rather than acting mainly as an instructive signal, E93 promotes adult differentiation through the repression of the pupal specifier broad (br). In the absence of E93, sustained high levels of Br during the pupal stage strongly represses pupal-specific enhancers that are essential for the terminal differentiation of the wing. Notably, RNA-seq analysis confirmed that the majority of E93-dependent transcriptomic changes in pupal wings are primarily driven by br repression. In addition, we also show that Br represses the pupal-enhancers during the larval and prepupal stages preventing the premature implementation of the adult genetic program, and that it also dampens the activity of larval enhancers during the latter stages of larval development. This mechanism of action seems to be a derived feature acquired in Diptera, as in the coleopteran Tribolium castaneum, repression of br by E93 is not sufficient to allow adult differentiation. In summary, our study elucidates the crucial role of the intricate interplay between E93 and Br as the governing mechanism in the process of terminal differentiation in Drosophila. This discovery holds significant implications for advancing our understanding of the evolution of insect metamorphosis.

Project description:The emergence of insecticide resistance is a fast-paced example of the evolutionary process of natural selection. In our study, we investigated the molecular basis of resistance in the myiasis-causing fly Cochliomyia hominivorax (Diptera: Calliphoridae) to organophosphates (OP). By sequencing the RNA from surviving larvae treated with OP (resistant condition) and non-treated larvae (control condition), we identified genes displaying condition-specific polymorphisms, as well as those differentially expressed. Both analyses revealed that resistant individuals have altered expression and allele-specific expression of genes involved in proteolysis (specifically serine-endopeptidase), olfactory perception and cuticle metabolism, among others. We also confirmed that resistant individuals carry almost invariably the Trp251Ser mutation in the esterase E3 known to confer OP and Pyrethroid resistance. Interestingly, genes involved in metabolic and detoxifying processes (notably cytochrome P450s) were found under-expressed in resistant individuals. An exception to this were esterases, which were found up-regulated. These observations suggest that reduced penetration and aversion to OP contaminated food, may be important complementary strategies of resistant individuals. The specific genes and processes found are an important starting point for future functional studies. Their role in insecticide resistance merits consideration to better the current pest management strategies.
