... and molecular basis underlying this plasticity remains only poorly understood. We therefore studied how the sea anemones Nematostella vectensis and Aiptasia ( Exaiptasia pallida ) respond to feeding and starvation. Combining quantifications of body size and cell numbers with mathematical modelling, we observed...

... starvation and is regulated by both insulin and AMPK. Fig. 7. Working model of the regulation of Q cell divisions during L1 arrest. DBL-1/BMP functions upstream of IIS by producing insulin-like peptides (INS) that act on the Q cells. The INS bind to and activate the DAF-2 insulin receptor...

...Heiko Yang; Yukiko M. Yamashita How tissues adapt to varying nutrient conditions is of fundamental importance for robust tissue homeostasis throughout the life of an organism, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we show that Drosophila testis responds to protein starvation...

... member of the tag gene family, tagA . TagA mRNA is expressed in the first 2 hours following starvation, it becomes specific to prespore cells and is eventually expressed in mature spores. Inactivation of the tagA gene results in developing structures with enlarged or supernumerary prestalk regions...

... of the Puf protein family of translational regulators. Upon starvation, pufA − cells develop precociously and overexpress developmentally important proteins, including the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, PKA-C. Gel mobility-shift assays using a 200-base segment of PKA-C’s mRNA as a probe...
