    • GFP in Drosophila
    • of outstanding interest, The GAL4 system can be used to express the naturally fluorescent green fluorescent protein from the jellyfish, Aequoria victoria. This is particularly exciting as it enables visualization of cells in the living organism. Nervous system development can thus be followed in vivo. By fusing GFP to the microtubule-binding protein tau, microtubules can be followed in vivo. Tau—GFP is an excellent marker for axon morphology.

    • The basic helix loop helix domain of Drosophila lethal of scute protein is sufficient for proneural function and activates neurogenic genes
    • of special interest, Lethal of scute is usually dispensable for adult sense organ development. However, ectopic expression of the gene demonstrates that it is able to promote sense organ development independently of the other proneural genes, revealing functional redundancy in the development of the nervous system. The basic helix-loop-helix domain of the lethal of scute protein is sufficient to promote sense organ development.

    • Serrate expression can functionally replace Delta activity during neuroblast segregation in the Drosophila embryo
    • of special interest, The GAL4 system was used to express Serrate ectopically to determine whether Serrate could mediate similar functions to the neurogenic gene and Notch ligand, Delta. In this study, Serrate is shown to be capable of replacing the Delta gene during development of the nervous system, leading to a suppression of proneural genes such as achaete in the proneural clusters. Thus, Serrate may encode an alternative ligand for Notch.
