PLoS One
. 2015 Mar;
10(3):e0120236.
PMID: 25781970
Organ formation requires a delicate balance of positive and negative regulators. In Drosophila eye development, wingless (wg) is expressed at the lateral margins of the eye disc and serves to...

. 2014 Jun;
28(3-4):250-63.
PMID: 24912380
The horizontal system and vertical system cells of the dipteran optic lobes are well understood regarding their physiology and role in visually guided behavior. Little is known, however, about their...

J Neurosci
. 2010 Nov;
30(46):15358-68.
PMID: 21084592
Liprin-α proteins are adaptors that interact with the receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase leukocyte common antigen-related (LAR) and other synaptic proteins to promote synaptic partner selection and active zone assembly. Liprin-β...

Astigarraga S, Hofmeyer K, Treisman J
Curr Opin Genet Dev
. 2010 May;
20(4):400-7.
PMID: 20434326
Extending axons must choose the appropriate synaptic target cells in order to assemble functional neural circuitry. The axons of the Drosophila color-sensitive photoreceptors R7 and R8 project as a single...

Hofmeyer K, Treisman J
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2009 Nov;
106(46):19399-404.
PMID: 19889974
Receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs) control many aspects of nervous system development. At the Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ), regulation of synapse growth and maturation by the RPTP LAR depends on...

Hofmeyer K, Treisman J
Curr Biol
. 2008 Oct;
18(19):R919-21.
PMID: 18957239
Most terminally differentiated sensory neurons express a single sensory receptor molecule. A Drosophila photoreceptor organ breaks this rule by switching to expressing a different type of Rhodopsin as it metamorphoses...

Dev Biol
. 2008 Feb;
315(1):28-41.
PMID: 18234176
In the Drosophila adult visual system, photoreceptor axons and their connecting interneurons are tied into a retinotopic pattern throughout the consecutive neuropil regions: lamina, medulla and lobula complex. Lamina and...

PMID: 16864797
In the Drosophila visual system, the color-sensing photoreceptors R7 and R8 project their axons to two distinct layers in the medulla. Loss of the receptor tyrosine phosphatase LAR from R7...
