It is proposed that Capicua regulates the pattern of follicle cell fates along the dorsoventral axis by blocking the induction of appendage determinants, such as mirror, by anterior positional cues.

EGFR-dependent downregulation of Capicua and the establishment of Drosophila dorsoventral polarity

This work considers a model where EGFR-mediated downregulation of Cic modulates the spatial distribution of Mirr protein in lateral follicle cells, thereby contributing to define the position at which the pipe expression border is formed.

Mirror represses pipe expression in follicle cells to initiate dorsoventral axis formation in Drosophila

It is shown that Mirror (Mirr), a homeodomain transcription factor induced by EGFR signaling in DA follicle cells, directly represses pipe expression by binding to a conserved element in the pipe regulatory region, and that the HMG-box protein Capicua (Cic) supports pipe expression in ventral follicles cells by repressing Mirr in this region.

Cad74A is regulated by BR and is required for robust dorsal appendage formation in Drosophila oogenesis.

Maternal control of the Drosophila dorsal–ventral body axis

Classic studies are reviewed and the details of more recent work that has advanced the understanding of the complex pathway that establishes Drosophila embryo DV polarity are integrated.

Response to the dorsal anterior gradient of EGFR signaling in Drosophila oogenesis is prepatterned by earlier posterior EGFR activation.

Drosophila eggshell is patterned by sequential action of feedforward and feedback loops

A model of Drosophila oogenesis demonstrates how complex patterns of gene expression can emerge from simple inputs, through the interaction of regulatory network motifs.

Signaling between somatic follicle cells and the germline patterns the egg and embryo of Drosophila.

The Mystery of Rhomboid in Capicua mutant Fruit Flies

Drosophila melanogaster is a fruit fly that is one of the most commonly used animal model for genetic studies and this specific definition of fates will be used as a basis to understand the effects of the gene capicua (cic) on follicle cell fate patterning.

Pattern formation by a moving morphogen source

The proposed model of the broad expression pattern can be used as a starting point for the quantitative analysis of a large number of gene expression patterns in Drosophila oogenesis, and provides insight into the mechanisms driving diversification of eggshell patterning.

Graded Egfr activity patterns the Drosophila eggshell independently of autocrine feedback

It is proposed that the pattern of cell fates is generated by spatial information derived directly from the germline ligand Gurken, without a requirement for subsequent patterning by diffusible Egfr regulators in the follicular epithelium.

Establishment of dorsal-ventral polarity of the Drosophila egg requires capicua action in ovarian follicle cells.

The experiments reveal that cic controls dorsal-ventral patterning by regulating pipe expression in ovarian follicle cells, before its previously described role in interpreting the Dorsal gradient.

The homeobox gene mirror links EGF signalling to embryonic dorso-ventral axis formation through Notch activation

The results suggest that the differentiation of ventral follicles cells is not a direct consequence of germline signalling, but depends on long-range signals from dorsal follicle cells, and provide a link between early and late events in Drosophila embryonic dorsal-ventral axis formation.

The origin of dorsoventral polarity in Drosophila.

In Drosophila dorsoventral (DV) polarity arises during oogenesis when the oocyte nucleus moves from a central posterior to an asymmetrical anterior position and establishes orthogonality between the anteroposterior and the DV axes.

Mechanisms of Gurken-dependent pipe regulation and the robustness of dorsoventral patterning in Drosophila.

Findings support the view that the pipe domain is directly delimited by a long-range Gurken gradient and indicates that potent inhibitory processes prevent pipe dependent Toll activation at the dorsal side of the egg.

It is suggested that boundaries of fringe expression and Notch activation constitute a general mechanism that directs growth and patterning of large fields of cells during Drosophila wing formation and vertebrate somitogenesis.

Ectopic activation of torpedo/Egfr, a Drosophila receptor tyrosine kinase, dorsalizes both the eggshell and the embryo.

Data indicate that the response to Top/Egfr signaling is regulated by an anterior/posterior prepattern in the follicle cells, and indicates that subpopulations of follicles cells along the anterior/ posterior axis can respond to Top-EgFr activation independently of one another.
