abstract = {The production of antimicrobial peptides is an important aspect of host defense in multicellular organisms. In Drosophila, seven antimicrobial peptides with different spectra of activities are synthesized by the fat body during the immune response and secreted into the hemolymph. Using GFP reporter transgenes, we show here that all seven Drosophila antimicrobial peptides can be induced in surface epithelia in a tissue-specific manner. The imd gene plays a critical role in the activation of this local response to infection. In particular, drosomycin expression, which is regulated by the Toll pathway during the systemic response, is regulated by imd in the respiratory tract, thus demonstrating the existence of distinct regulatory mechanisms for local and systemic induction of antimicrobial peptide genes in Drosophila.},

abstract = {Long terminal repeat elements and retroviruses require primers for initiation of minus and plus-strand DNA synthesis by reverse transcriptase. Here we demonstrate genetically that plus-strand DNA synthesis of the yeast Ty1 element is initiated at two sites located at the 5' boundary of the 3' long terminal repeat (PPT1) and near the middle of the pol gene in the integrase coding sequence (PPT2). A consequence of the presence of two PPTs is that Ty1 plus-strand DNA exists as segments at some time during replication. Three fragments have been identified: the plus-strand strong-stop DNA initiated at PPT1, a downstream fragment initiated at PPT2 and an upstream fragment spanning the 5'-terminal part of Ty1 and a portion of the TyB gene. Characterization of the 3' ends of the plus-strand DNA fragments reveals (1) that the upstream fragment is elongated beyond PPT2 creating a plus-strand overlap and (2) that the majority of plus-strand strong-stop DNA fragments bear a copy of the minus-strand primer binding site in agreement with the accepted model of retroviral genomic RNA reverse transcription. The two polypurine tracts, PPT1 and PPT2, have an identical sequence GGGTGGTA. Mutations replacing purines by pyrimidines in this sequence significantly diminish or abolish initiation of plus-strand synthesis. Ty1 elements bearing a mutated PPT2 sequence are not defective for transposition whereas mutations in PPT1 abolish transposition.},
