Eric Wieschaus (Princeton) Part 1: Patterning Development in the Embryo

Ғылым және технология

www.ibiology.org/development-...
Following fertilization, the single celled embryo undergoes a number of mitotic divisions to produce a ball of cells called a blastula or blastoderm. Although these cells are all genetically identical, they gradually begin to express different gene products that reflect the regions of the adult body they will form. In my first lecture I discuss how these initial patterns of gene expression arise. In Drosophila, a maternally supplied transcription factor called Bicoid plays a particularly important role. Bcd RNA is anchored at the anterior end of the egg but is only translated after fertilization. From that anterior source, Bcd protein is thought to diffuse through the egg, establishing a concentration gradient that activates different genes at different thresholds.

    It's quite evident that Prof. Wieschaus has a quiet & shy personality; usually that is an issue because lecturers like that are not able to draw the full attention of students but in his case, it's his enthusiasm & passion for the subject that keeps us drawn towards his lecture making it a pretty good learning experience!

    wait why would a concentration gradient of a transcription factor allow activation of other genes ? changing the concentration may change the kinetics but it doesn't change the reaction ? Maybe hunchback promoter has a lower affinity than kruppel promoter ? so weird

    @Dalai Llama the reason your hair turns grey is often due to the hydrogen peroxide radicals (toxic wastes) produced in your cells building up in melanocytes and killing them. melanocytes are colour producing cells, they make melanin which is responsible for skin tone, freckles and hair colour. when these cells surrounding the hairs die, they no longer produce colour in newly growing hair strands. so you notice that there is often patchiness in colour and grey etc. because they die in different places. i would say the hair turnover has to do with this phenomenon in that some places retain colour and live melanocytes more than others.

    if an iPSC can originate an entire organism, how come mother RNAs/proteins existent in egg's cytoplasm are important for cellularization process?

    Bicoid RNA is all translated within 2hours after behind unanchored? or the protein spread takes 2h? How can the RNA be all transcribed in 1 region, if it is not unchored anymore? in 2 hours, the unachored Bicoid RNA does not spread around the remaining cytoplasm, becoming translated there? Cytoplasm must be like agarose lol
