Increased Ethanol Resistance and Consumption in Eps8 Knockout Mice Correlates with Altered Actin Dynamics (2008)

Nina Offenhäuser, Daniela Castelletti, Lisa Mapelli, Maria Cristina Regondi, Paola Rossi, Carolina Frassoni, ...

Dynamic modulation of the actin cytoskeleton is critical for synaptic plasticity, abnormalities of which are thought to contribute to mental illness and addiction. Here we report that mice lacking...

Wang, Hongyan, Somers, Gregory W., Bashirullah, Arash, Heberlein, Ulrike, Yu, Fengwei, Chia, William

The choice of self-renewal versus differentiation is a fundamental issue in stem cell and cancer biology. Neural progenitors of the Drosophila post-embryonic brain, larval neuroblasts (NBs), divide...

Lmo Mutants Reveal a Novel Role for Circadian Pacemaker Neurons in Cocaine-Induced Behaviors (2004)

Roland J. Bainton, Justin Blau, Ulrike Heberlein

Expression of the Drosophila LIM-only (LMO) gene in circadian pacemaker cells is required for the normal behavioral sensitivity of these animals to cocaine.

Lmo Mutants Reveal a Novel Role for Circadian Pacemaker Neurons in Cocaine-Induced Behaviors (2004)

Molecular Genetic Analysis of Ethanol Intoxication in Drosophila melanogaster (2004)

Heberlein, Ulrike, Wolf, Fred W., Rothenfluh, Adrian, Guarnieri, Douglas J.

Recently, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has been introduced as a model system to study the molecular bases of a variety of ethanol-induced behaviors. It became immediately apparent that the...

Tre1, a G Protein-Coupled Receptor, Directs Transepithelial Migration of Drosophila Germ Cells (2003)

Prabhat S. Kunwar, Michelle Starz-Gaiano, Roland J. Bainton, Ulrike Heberlein, Ruth Lehmann

A novel G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) is shown to be essential for transepithelial migration of Drosophila germ cells. Leukocyte transepithelial migration also requires GPCR signaling, suggesting...

Tre1, a G Protein-Coupled Receptor, Directs Transepithelial Migration of Drosophila Germ Cells (2003)

Prabhat S. Kunwar, Michelle Starz-Gaiano, Roland J. Bainton, Ulrike Heberlein, Ruth Lehmann

In most organisms, germ cells are formed distant from the somatic part of the gonad and thus have to migrate along and through a variety of tissues to reach the gonad. Transepithelial migration...

eyelid antagonizes wingless signaling during Drosophila development and has homology to the Bright family of DNA-binding proteins

Treisman, Jessica E., Luk, Alvin, Rubin, Gerald M., Heberlein, Ulrike

In Drosophila, pattern formation at multiple stages of embryonic and imaginal development depends on the same intercellular signaling pathways. We have identified a novel gene, eyelid (eld), which is...

Lmo Mutants Reveal a Novel Role for Circadian Pacemaker Neurons in Cocaine-Induced Behaviors

Tsai, Linus T.-Y, Bainton, Roland J, Blau, Justin, Heberlein, Ulrike

Drosophila has been developed recently as a model system to investigate the molecular and neural mechanisms underlying responses to drugs of abuse. Genetic screens for mutants with altered...

The hangover gene defines a stress pathway required for ethanol tolerance development

Scholz, Henrike, Franz, Mirjam, Heberlein, Ulrike

Repeated alcohol consumption leads to the development of tolerance, simply defined as an acquired resistance to the physiological and behavioral effects of the drug. This tolerance allows increased...

Rough eye is a gain-of-function allele of amos that disrupts regulation of the proneural gene atonal during Drosophila retinal differentiation.

Chanut, Françoise, Woo, Katherine, Pereira, Shalini, Donohoe, Terrence J, Chang, Shang-Yu, Laverty, Todd R, ...

The regular organization of the ommatidial lattice in the Drosophila eye originates in the precise regulation of the proneural gene atonal (ato), which is responsible for the specification of the...

GSK-3/Shaggy regulates olfactory habituation in Drosophila

Wolf, Fred W., Eddison, Mark, Lee, Seonok, Cho, William, Heberlein, Ulrike

Habituation is a universal form of nonassociative learning that results in the devaluation of sensory inputs that have little information content. Although habituation is found throughout nature and...

Genetic Dissociation of Ethanol Sensitivity and Memory Formation in Drosophila melanogaster

LaFerriere, Holly, Guarnieri, Douglas J., Sitaraman, Divya, Diegelmann, Soeren, Heberlein, Ulrike, Zars, Troy
