Here, we investigated how PXF-1 coordinates the development of presynaptic terminals at the molecular level. We observed that PXF-1 acts through RAP-1 to promote synapse development. Subsequently, we found that pxf-1 mutants display a reduction in RAC-2 activity, which is required for cholinergic synapse development. We observed that RAC-2 acts downstream of RAP-1. Finally, we identified a physical interaction between RAP-1 and TIAM-1, a Rac guanine exchange factor, which links PXF-1 function to the presynaptic actin cytoskeleton through RAC-2 activation.

Here, we reveal the role of the secreted protein NimB1 in reducing apoptotic cell recognition and binding in the early stages of efferocytosis. NimB1 is expressed in macrophages (also called plasmatocytes) and binds to ACs in a phosphatidylserine-dependent manner. Structural analysis shows that NimB1 shares striking similarities with the bridging molecule NimB4, and possesses two phosphatidylserine-binding motifs, supporting its role in efferocytosis. Larval macrophages of NimB1-null Drosophila mutants display a hyper-phagocytic phenotype characterized by increased engulfment of ACs. Confocal imaging reveals that NimB1 specifically inhibits early steps in internalization of ACs, but does not impact phagosome maturation. We find that NimB1 is a secreted factor that negatively regulates efferocytosis, antagonizing the role of NimB4. Our study and the analogous opposing roles of Draper Isoforms II and I in efferocytosis suggest that a balance of negative and positive regulators allows optimization of the rate of apoptotic cell clearance by macrophages.</p>","PeriodicalId":11375,"journal":{"name":"Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144658711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The moss Physcomitrium patens has recently been developed as a model system in which to dissect the genetic basis of 3D growth, a unifying feature of all land plants. The cytokinin-unresponsive nog1-R mutant incorrectly orients division planes in developing buds and thus fails to make the transition to 3D growth. To reveal the genetic interactors of the NOG1 gene, which encodes a protein with a C-terminal UBA domain, we performed a screen and identified the suppressor of nog1a (snog1a) mutant. We have mapped the causative mutation to a gene that encodes a protein related to FLOE2/3 from Arabidopsis and demonstrated that the mutant phenotypes observed in both a nog1 disruptant mutant (nog1dis) and snog1a can be attributed to changes in cytokinin perception.

Conditional knockout mutation of Emg1 in the GRHL3-positive surface ectoderm causes neural tube defects at the level of the spinal cord, i.e. spina bifida. Additionally, the severity of compound mutant phenotypes of Emg1 and Grhl3 indicates that they interact genetically in neurulation and palate development. These lines of evidence demonstrate that EMG1 cooperates with GRHL3 in β-catenin-mediated surface ectoderm differentiation.

Its deletion in adult germ cells resulted in germ cell loss and infertility, and its deletion in spermatogonia in the developing testis resulted in SSC depletion and compromised spermatogenesis. Consistent with the in vivo results, deletion of Cnot3 in cultured SSCs caused a reduction in cell proliferation and viability, and downregulation of SSC markers.
