Discuss the relationship between gap rule gene mutations, pair-rule gene mutations, and segment
polarity gene mutations in Drosophila melanogaster.
Solution
Segmentation in Drosophila is controlled by gene expression cascade that occur in a sequential
order. The maternal effect genes form the anterior and posterior poles in the embryo. The spatial
pattern of segments is controlled by transcription regulation of gap genes. The gap genes express
the overlapping segments of anterior and posterior poles. The gap genes regulate next set of
genes called pair rule genes. These genes are expressed in 7 stripes corresponding to each
segment. Pair rule genes express the transcription factors regulating the segment polarity genes.
These genes are expressed as 14 segmentally repeated stripes. The segment polarity genes
express regulatory proteins and transcription factors that maintain interaction between cells and
finally, homeotic genes control the character of each segment.
The missing segments producing gaps are known by Krüppel mutants resulting in missing of T1-
A5 segments. Hunchback mutants are missing head segments and knirps mutants lack posterior
segments. Mutations in pair-rule genes- result in half the number of parasegments.The fushi-
tarazu mutants lack odd-numbered parasegments and even-skipped mutants lack even-numbered
parasegments. Mutations in segment polarity genes- result in duplication of the anterior or
posterior half within each segment. The gooseberry and engrailed mutants have the posterior part
of each segment replaced by the anterior part of the adjacent segment.
