Drosophila gene interactions: Dorsal group

The Interactive Fly

Maternally transcribed genes

Dorsal Group Genes

Genes acting early in the egg to establish dorsal-ventral polarity

Genes acting early in follicle cells receiving the Gurken signal through EGF-R

CF2 (see rhomboid)
Egf-r (synonyms: DER and torpedo)
rhomboid

Genes acting later in follicle cells

nudel
pipe
windbuetel

Germ line derived extracellular components acting after fertilization

easter (serine protease)
gastrulation-defective (serine protease)
snake (serine protease)
spätzle (ligand for toll)

Germ line genes acting after fertilization
