In this work, a behavioural analysis of different mutants of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has been carried out. Primarily, the gap climbing behaviour (Pick & Strauss, 2005) has been assayed as it lends itself for the investigation of decision making processes and the neuronal basis of adaptive behaviour. Furthermore it shows how basic motor actions can be combined into a complex motor behaviour. Thanks to the neurogenetic methods, Drosophila melanogaster has become an ideal study object for neurobiological questions. Two different modules of climbing control have been examined in detail. For the decision making, the mutant climbing sisyphus was analysed. While wild-type flies adapt the initiation of climbing behaviour to the width of the gap and the probability for a successful transition. climbing sisyphus flies initiate climbing behaviour even at clearly insurmountable gap widths. The climbing success itself is not improved in comparison to the wild-type siblings. The mutant climbing sisyphus is a rare example of a hyperactive mutant besides many mutants that show a reduced activity. Basic capabilities in vision have been tested in an optomotor and a distance-estimation paradigm. Since they are not affected, a defect in decision making is most probably the cause of this behavioural aberration. A second module of climbing control is keeping up orientation towards the opposite side of the gap during the execution of climbing behaviour. Mutants with a structural defect in the protocerebral bridge show abnormal climbing behaviour. During the climbing attempt, the longitudinal body axis does not necessarily point into the direction of the opposite side. Instead, many climbing events are initiated at the side edge of the walking block into the void and have no chance to ever succeed. The analysed mutants are not blind. In one of the mutants, tay bridge1 (tay1) a partial rescue attempt used to map the function in the brain succeeded such that the state of the bridge was restored. That way, a visual targeting mechanism has been activated, allowing the flies to target the opposite side. When the visibility of the opposing side was reduced, the rescued flies went back to a tay1 level of directional scatter. The results are in accord with the idea that the bridge is a central constituent of the visual targeting mechanism. The tay1 mutant was also analysed in other behavioural paradigms. A reduction in walking speed and walking activity in this mutant could be rescued by the expression of UAS-tay under the control of the 007Y-GAL4 driver line, which concomitantly restores the structure of the protocerebral bridge. The separation of bridge functions from functions of other parts of the brain of tay1 was accomplished by rescuing the reduced optomotor compensation in tay1 by the mb247-GAL4>UAS-tay driver. While still having a tay1-like protocerebral bridge, mb247-GAL4 rescue flies are able to compensate at wild-type levels. An intact compensation is not depended on the tay expression in the mushroom bodies, as mushroom body ablated flies with a tay1 background and expression of UAS-tay under the control of mb247-GAL4 show wild-type behaviour as well. The most likely substrate for the function are currently unidentified neurons in the fan-shaped body, that can be stained with 007Y-GAL4 and mb247-GAL4 as well.
So me species of the paleotropical tree genus Macaranga (Euphorbiaceae) live in elose association with ants. Thc genus comprises the full range of species from those not regularly inhabited by ants to obligate myrmecophytes. In Malaysia (peninsular and Borneo) 23 ofthe 52 species areknown to be ant-associated (44%). The simplest structural adaptation of plants to attract ants are extrafloral nectaries. We studied the distribution of extraflural nectaries in the genus Macaranga to assess the significance of this character as a possible predisposition for the evolution of obligate myrmecophytism. All species have marginal glands on the leaves. However, only the glands of nonmyrmecophytic species function as nectaries, whereas liquids secreted by these glands in myrmecophytic species did not contain sugar. Some non-myrmecophytic Macaranga and transitional Macaranga species in addition have extrafloral nectaries on the leaf blade near the petiole insertion. All obligatorily myrmecophytic Macaranga species, however, lack additional glands on the lamina. The non-myrmecophytic species are visited by a variety of different ant species, whereas myrmecophytic Macaranga are associated only with one specific ant-partner. Since these ants keep scale insects in the hollow sterns, reduction of nectary production in ant-inhabited Macaranga seems to be biologically significant. We interpret this as a means of (a) saving the assimilates and (b) stabilization of maintenance of the association's specificity. Competition with other ant species for food rewards is avoided and thereby danger ofweakening the protective function ofthe obligate antpartner for the plant is reduced. A comparison with other euphorb species living in the same habitats as Macaranga showed that in genera in which extrafloral nectaries are widespread, no myrmecophytes have evolved. Possession of extrafloral nectaries does not appear to be essential for the development of symbiotic ant-plant interactions. Other predispositions such as nesting space might have played a more important role.

Zanthoxylum myriacanthum, a small Rutaceous tree growing mainly in secondary hill forests in SE Asia, is a true myrmecophyte. It possesses stem domatia in the form of hollow branches with slitlike openings. Branch hollows and entrance slits are produced by the plant itself through pith degene~.tion ?u.d growth proceSses. If the entrance is not kept open by ants it closes again by growth ol the surrounding tissue after some time. The domatia are colonized opportunistic ally by different arboreous ants, e.g. Crematogaster and Campono tus. Additionally many small extrafloral nectaries are found on the leaflets of Zanthoxylum myriacanthum. Judging from herbarium studies and literature records at least four more true ant trees are found in the genus Zanthoxylum namely Z. rhetsa in SE Asia, Z. conspersipunctatum, Z. pluviatile and Z. vinkii in New Guinea. We could not confirm ant inhabitation in Drypetes pendula (Euphorbiaceae) on the Malay Peninsula, which has also been recorded to be an anttree.
In rho0-Zellen, die über keine mitochondriale DNA (mtDNA) mehr verfügen, entstehen während der Kultivierung Megamitochondrien durch endogene Milchsäure-Azidifizierung des Kulturmediums. Diese Riesenorganellen bilden sich dabei durch mitochondriale Fusionsereignisse und/oder eine Hemmung der Fission. In Zellen mit mitochondrialem Genom ist es ebenso möglich Megamitochondrien durch artifizielles Ansäuern des Kulturmediums zu induzieren. Diese Erkenntnisse wurden im Rahmen dieser Arbeit als Werkzeug verwendet, um Einblicke in mitochondriale Fusions- und Fissionsereignisse zu erlangen. Zunächst wurde die Fusion mitochondrialer Matrixkompartimente mithilfe der photoaktivierbaren Variante des grünen fluoreszierenden Proteins (PA-GFP) untersucht. Hiermit konnte gezeigt werden, dass das Vermischen der Matrixkompartimente nach der Fusion ein sehr schneller Prozess ist. Die Analyse der Bildung und Rückbildung der Megamitochondrien erfolgte sowohl konfokal- als auch elektronenmikroskopisch, wobei sich zeigte, dass die Matrix der Riesenorganellen kaum mehr Cristae beinhaltet. Die Rückbildung der Megamitochondrien zum normalen Netzwerk ist ein sehr schneller Prozess, bei dem schon nach 15 min keine vergrößerten Organellen mehr sichtbar sind. Dies indiziert, dass der Rückbildungsprozess wahrscheinlich durch Veränderungen von verfügbaren Proteinen durchgeführt wird, ohne die Induzierung von Proteinneusynthese. Untersuchungen auf ultrastruktureller Ebene zeigten, dass es während der Rückbildung zur Formation von drei unterschiedlichen Mitochondrientypen kam, die sich in ihrer Morphologie stark unterschieden. Weiterhin wurden vergleichende Studien zur Bildung der Megamitochondrien durchgeführt, bei denen der Einfluss von Atmungsketten-Inhibitoren auf die Bildung von Milchsäure-induzierten Riesenorganellen untersucht wurde. Die Resultate deuten für die Megamitochondrieninduktion auf eine Abhängigkeit auf ein intaktes Membranpotential hin. Immunzytochemisch wurde die endogene Lokalisation der mitochondrialen Fusions- und Fissionsproteine Mitofusin 2, hFis1 und Drp1/DNM1L am Modellsystem der Megamitochondrieninduktion aufgeklärt. Es zeigte sich, dass diese Proteine punktförmig an der äußeren Membran der Riesenorganellen lokalisieren Um das Modellsystem an lebenden Zellen zu nutzen, wurden Vektoren konstruiert, die fluoreszenzmarkierte Proteine der mitochondrialen Fusions- und Fissionsmaschinerie exprimierten. Hiermit konnte einerseits die Lokalisation von Mitofusin 1, Mitofusin 2, hFis1 und Drp1/DNM1L in lebenden Zellen nach Induktion der Megamitochondrien analysiert werden und andererseits der Einfluss der Überexpression dieser Proteine auf die Bildung der Riesenorganellen dokumentiert werden. Die Ergebnisse machten deutlich, dass nur die Überepxression von hFis1 die Bildung der Megamitochondrien verhinderte. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit lag in der Visualisierung und Dynamik mitochondrialer Nucleoids in lebenden Zellen. Nucleoids sind Protein-DNA-Komplexe, in denen mitochondriale Genome organisiert sind. Mit dem Farbstoff PicoGreen gelang es mtDNA in lebenden Zellen zu färben und Dynamikstudien der punktförmigen Strukturen mikroskopisch festzuhalten. Während sich mtDNA im mitochondrialen Netzwerk nur marginal aufgrund stattfindender Fusions- und Fissionsereignisse bewegte kam es in den Milchsäure-induzierten Megamitochondrien zu einer extensiven und extrem schnellen Bewegung von mitochondrialer DNA. In anschließenden Versuchen wurde der mitochondriale Transkriptions- und Verpackungsfaktor TFAM als fluoreszentes Fusionsprotein in Zellen transfiziert und Kolokalisationsstudien zeigten, dass das Fusionsprotein mit mtDNA kolokalisiert. In den Riesenorganellen präsentierten punktförmige TFAM-gefärbte Nucleoids ein sehr dynamisches Verhalten mit schneller Bewegung. In rho0-Zellen ohne mitochondriale DNA war die TFAM-Fluoreszenz hingegen gleichmäßig verteilt. Ein weiterer Nucleiodbestandteil ist das mitochondriale DNA-Einzelstrangbindeprotein SSBP1, welches in Megamitochondrien ebenso ein sehr dynamisches Verhalten aufwies. Eine mitochondrial-zielgesteuerte und EGFP-markierte Restriktionsendonuklease wies ebenfalls das typische, punktförmige Nucleoidmuster im mitochondrialen Netzwerk auf, was auf eine Interaktion mit der mtDNA schließen lässt. In rho0-Zellen ohne mtDNA kam es jedoch zur gleichmäßigen Verteilung des Konstruktes in den Mitochondrien. Zusammenfassend wurden in dieser Arbeit sowohl Einblicke in die Biologie der Megamitochondrien gewonnen, als auch Erkenntnisse über die Dynamik mitochondrialer Protein-DNA-Komplexe, wobei der Schwerpunkt hierbei auf einer Analyse mit Hilfe optischer Methoden lag.
Während der Spermatogenese finden erstaunliche Differenzierungsprozessen statt. Reguliert wird die Spermatogenese sowohl hormonell als auch durch Wechselwirkungen zwischen verschiedenen Zelltypen und der extrazellulärer Matrix. Unterteilt wird die Spermatogenese in drei funktionelle Einheiten. Die Proliferationsphase, die Meiose und die Spermiogenese. Im Laufe der Proliferationsphase gehen aus den Spermatogonien, Spermatocyten hervor, die die Meiose durchlaufen. Während der Prophase I der Meiose kommt es zur Reduktion und Rekombination des genetischen Materials, was mit charakteristischen und höchst dynamischen Bewegungsvorgängen der Telomere einhergeht. Auf die Meiose folgt die Spermiogenese, in der das genetische Material in seine „Transportform“ überführt wird und aus einer stationären, zellverbundenen Einheit ein mobiles autark funktionierendes Vehikel des genetischen Materials wird; das Spermium. Um das Verständnis dieser Vorgänge zu erweitern wurden in dieser Arbeit die Verteilungsmuster einiger Proteine in der Kernhülle von Zellen der Spermatogenese, in Hinblick auf ihre dynamische Umverteilung untersucht. Bei diesen Proteinen handelte es sich um die SUN-Domänen Proteine und das meiosespezifische Lamin C2. Die SUN-Domänen Proteine sind Teil des membrandurchspannenden LINC-Komplexes, der Komponenten des Nukleoplasma mit denen des Cytoplasma verbindet. In dieser Arbeit konnte gezeigt werden, dass die SUN-Domänen Proteine, Sun1 und Sun2 während der Meiose exprimiert werden, und an den Anheftungsplatten meiotischer Chromosomen lokalisieren und deren dynamisches Verteilungsmuster dem Verteilungsmuster der Telomere während der Prophase I der Meiose entsprechen. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass Sun1 und Sun2 eine tragende Rolle, während der koordinierten Bewegungsprozessen der Prophase I der Meiose spielen. In der Spermiogenese sind die SUN-Domänen Proteine, Sun1 und Sun3 vertreten. Dabei weist deren unterschiedliche Lokalisation an entgegengesetzten Zellpolen darauf hin, dass Sun1 und Sun3 möglicherweise unterschiedliche Funktionen bei der Umgestaltung des Spermienkopfes während der Spermiogenese erfüllen. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit war die Etablierung einer Mauslinie um die Rolle von Lamin C2 in der Meiose untersuchen zu können. Hierzu wurde eine Lamin C2 Knock-out Studie begonnen. In ersten Untersuchungen der knock-out Tiere konnte eine Größenreduktion der Hoden beobachtet werden. Ebenso konnte ein Abbruch der Meiose vermerkt werden. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit verdeutlichen, dass sowohl die SUN-Domänen Proteine, als auch Lamin C2, wichtige Rollen in dem komplexen Arrangement der Spermatogenese übernehmen.
The human genome has been sequenced since 2001. Most proteins have been characterized now and with everyday more bioinformatical predictions are experimentally verified. A project is underway to sequence thousand humans. But still, little is known about the evolution of the human proteome itself. Domains and their combinations are analysed in detail but not all of the human domain architectures at once. Like no one before, we have large datasets of high quality human protein-protein-protein interactions and complexes available which allow us to characterize the human proteome with unmatched accuracy. Advanced clustering algorithms and computing power enable us to gain new information about protein interactions without touching a pipette. In this work, the human proteome is analysed at three different levels. First, the origin of the different types of proteins was analysed based on their domain architectures. The second part focuses on the protein-protein interactions. Finally, in the third part, proteins are clustered based on their interactions and non-interactions. Most proteins are built of domains and their function is the sum of their domain functions. Proteins that share the same domain architecture, the linear order of domains are homologues and should have originated from one common ancestral protein. This ancestor was calculated for roughly 750 000 proteins from 1313 species. The relations between the species are based on the NCBI Taxonomy and additional molecular data. The resulting data set of 5817 domains and 32868 domain architectures was used to estimate the origin of these proteins based on their architectures. It could be observed, that new domain architectures are only in a small fraction composed of domains arisen at the same taxon. It was also found that domain architectures increase in length and complexity in the course of evolution and that different organisms like worm, and human share nearly the same amount of proteins but differ in their number of distinct domain architectures. The second part of this thesis focuses on protein-protein interactions. This chapter addresses the question how new evolved proteins form connections within the existing network. The network built of protein-protein interactions was shown to be scale free. Scale free networks, like the internet, consist of few hubs with many connections and many nodes with few connections. They are thought to arise by two mechanisms. First, newly emerged proteins interact with proteins of the network. Second, according to the theory of preferential attachment, new proteins have a higher chance to interact with already interaction rich proteins. The Human Protein Reference Database provides an on in-vivo interaction data based network for human. With the data obtained from chapter one, proteins were marked with their taxon of origin based on their domain architectures. The interaction ratio of proteins of the same taxa compared to all interactions was calculated and higher values than the random model showed for nearly every taxa. On the other hand, there was no enrichment of proteins originated at the taxon of cellular organisms for the node degree found. The node degree is the number of links for this node. According to the theorie of preferential attachment the oldest nodes should have the most interactions and newly arisen proteins should be preferably attached to them not together. Both could not be shown in this analysis, preferential attachment could therefore not be the only explanation for the forming of the human protein interaction network. Finally in part three, proteins and all their interactions in the network are analysed. Protein networks can be divided into smaller highly interacting parts carrying out specific functions. This can be done with high statistical significance but still, it does not reflect the biological significance. Proteins were clustered based on their interactions and non-interactions with other proteins. A version with eleven clusters showed high gene ontology based ratings and clusters related to specific cell parts. One cluster consists of proteins having very few interactions together but many to proteins of two other clusters. This first cluster is significantly enriched with transport proteins and the two others are enriched with extracellular and cytoplasm/membrane located proteins. The algorithm seems therefore well suited to reflect the biological importance behind functional modules. Although we are still far from understanding the origin of species, this work has significantly contributed to a better understanding of evolution at the protein level and has, in particular, shown the relation of protein domains and protein architectures and their preferences for binding partners within interaction networks.
The production of extrafloral nectar and food bodies plays an important role in many tropical ant-plant mutualisms. In Malaysia, a close association exists between ants and some species of the pioneer tree genus Macaranga (Euphorbiaccac). Macaranga is a very diverse genus which exhibits all stages ofintcraction with ants, from facultative to obligatory associations. The ants nest inside the hollow inlcrnodes and reed mainly on food budies provided by the plants. Food body production had previously been reported only in myrrnecophytic Macaranga species, where it is usually coneentrated on protected parts or the plants such as recurved stipules. We found that non-myrmecophytic Macaranga species also produce food bodies on leaves and stems, where they are collected by a variety or ants. Levels of food body production differ between facultatively and obligatorily ant-associated species but also among the various non-myrmecophytes. This may he rdated to the degree of interaction with ants. Food body production starts at a younger age in the myrmccophytic species than in the transitional or non-myrmcccophytic Macaranga. Although food bodies of the non-inhabited Macaranga species are collected by a variety of ants, there is nu evidence of association with specific ant species. Our observations suggest that food bodies enhance the evolution of ant-plant interactions. Production of food bodies alone, however, does not appear to be the most important factor for the development of obligate myrmccopllytism in Macaranga.
Nucleoli provide the fascinating possibility of linking morphologically distinct structures such as those seen in the electron microscope with biochemical f eatures of the formation and step wise maturation of ribosomes. Localization of proteins by immunocytochemistry and of rRNA genes and their transcripts by in situ hybridization has greatly improved our understanding of the structural-functional relationships of the nucleolus. The present review describes some recent results obtained by electron microscopic in situ hybridization and argues that this approach has the potential to correlate each step of the complex pre-rRNA maturation pathway with nucleolar structures. Evidence is accumulating that the nucleolus-specific U3 snRNPs (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles) participate in rRNA processing events, similar to the role played by the nucleoplasmic snRNPs in mRNA maturation. The intranucleolar distribution of U3 snRNA is consistent with the view that it is involved in both early and late stages of pre-rRNA processing.
Lampbrush chromosomes of amphibian oocytes were isolated in the presence of near-physiological salt concentrations, to preserve their native state, and studied by electron microscopy of ultrathin s~dions. The transcriptional state of the lampbrush chromosomes was experimentally modulated by incubating the oocytes for various time periods in medium containing actinomycin D. The observations show that the structure of the lateral loops changes rapidly in response to alterations in transcriptional activity. During decreasing transcriptional activity and reduced packing density of transcripts, the chromatin axis first condensed into nucleosomes and then into an approximately 30 nm thick higher order chromatin fiber. Packaging of the loop axis into supranucleosomal structures may contribute to the foreshortening and retraction of the loops observed during inhibition of transcription and in later stages of meiotic prophase. The increasing packing density of the DNA during the retraction process of the loops could also be visualized by immunofluorescence microscopy using antibodies to DNA. The dependence of the loop chromatin structure on transcriptional activity is discussed in relation to current views of mechanisms involved in gene activation.
The distribution of DNA in Ehrlich tumour cell nucleoli was investigated by means of an immunocytochemical approach , involving a monoclonal antibody directed against double- and single-stranded DNA. Immunolabelling was performed . either before or after the embedding process. The postembedding labelling method allows better ultrastructural preservation than the preembedding labelling method. In particular, the various nucleolar components are well preserved and identifiable. In the nucleolus, labelling is particularly concentrated over the perinucleolar chromatin and over its intranucleolar invaginations, which penetrate the nucleolar body and often terminate at the fibrillar centres. In addition, aggregates of gold particles are found in the fibrillar centres, preferentially towards the peripheral regions. By contrast, the dense fibrillar component is completely devoid of labelling. The results seem to indicate that DNA containing the rDNA genes is located in the fibrillar centres, with a preference for the peripheral regions. This finding suggests that transcription of the rDNA genes should occur within the confines of the fibrillar centre, probably close to the boundary region of the surrounding dense fibrillar component. The results are discussed in the light of present knowledge of the functional organization of the nucleolus.
Small nucleolus-related bodies which occur in the nUcleoplasm of " micronuclei" lacking nucleolar organizers have been studied by immunofluorescence microscopy. These bodies stained specifically with three different antibodies directed against proteins that are normally associated with the dense fibrillar component of functional nucleoli, but not with antibodies specific for certain proteins of the granular component or the fibrillar centers. Our data show that, in the absence of rRNA genes, the various constituent proteins characteristic of the dense fibrillar component spontaneously assemble into spherical entities but that the subsequent fusion of these bodies into larger structures is prevented in these micronuclei. The similarity between these nucleolus-related bodies of micronuclei and the prenucleolar bodies characteristic of early stages of nucleologenesis during mitotic telophase is discussed.
Nucleoli are the sites of ribosome biogenesis. Transcription of the ribosomal RNA genes as well as processing and initial packaging of their transcripts with ribosomal and non-ribosomal proteins all occur within the nucleolus in an ordered manner and under defined topological conditions. Components of the nucleolus have been localized by immunocytochemistry and their functional aspects investigated by microinjection of antibodies directed against the enzyme responsible for rDNA transcription, RNA polymerase I. The role of nascent transcripts in postmitotic formation of nucleoli will be discussed.
