After the activity of four different pathways, the D/V patterning of the ectoderm Is controlled by a conserved Ser/Thr receptor that is dependent on the gradient of its ligand dpp and dpp’s interactors
D/V: An evolutionarilyConserved mechanism

STAGE PATHWAY PATHWAY OUTCOME
Dorsal fate determined in oocyte, through signaling between oocyte and somatic follicle cells
Gurken protein on future dorsal side of oocyte, facing cells which become dorsal
Human blood clotting cascade– Also a series of
(extracellular )proteolytic cleavages
Dorsalized Ventralized
Ventral fates dictated by NUCLEAR presence of the protein Dorsal
Gradient of Nuclear Dorsal protein imparts D-V IDs to cells
Twist Protein specifies mesoderm
Lateral inhibition in neurectoderm to specify neruogenesis: Notch mediated
All Rhomboid expressing cells express Notch, then undergo a stochastic process for ¼ cells to become neuronal

Key factor for D-V identities inVertebrates

The course primarily addresses development of urbilaterian descendents. All reflect on the ancestor-differences are details.
So now we’ve defined both axes
in Drosophila, includingevery cell of 5000.
msh, ind, and sogmark specific D/V cells/coordinates
Subsequent to A/P specification through segmentation gene action, the Homeotic genes then allow unique functions for each segment.

All animals have related developmental histories
