The neural and genetic substrates of sexual behavior in Drosophila.

Advances in genetics - 1 Jan 2007

Yamamoto Daisuke

Abstract excerpt

fruitless (fru), originally identified with its mutant conferring male homosexuality, is a neural sex determination gene in Drosophila that produces sexually dimorphic sets of transcripts. In the nervous system, Fru is translated only in males. Fru proteins likely regulate the transcription of a set of downstream genes. The expression of Fru proteins is sufficient to induce male sexual behavior in females. A...
