Drosophila melanogaster is a proven and effective model for studying developmental and cellular processes common to higher eukaryotes. Approximately 13,600 genes have been elucidated from more than 120 megabases of euchromatin, and they are organized among the chromosomes 2, 3, 4, X and Y, with the Y chromosome being predominately heterochromatic (1). Drosophila genes can be categorized based on the type of protein for which they encode and are represented by six major classifications, which include intracellular signaling proteins, transmembrane proteins, RNA binding proteins, secreted factors, transcription regulators (basic helix-loop-helix, homeodomain containing, zinc finger containing, and chromatin associated) or other functional proteins (2). Many of the genes expressed in Drosophila are structurally and functionally similar across species, as are the pathways involved in transducing intracellular signaling. Toll (dToll), whose mammalian homolog is the Interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor, contributes to proper embryonic dorsal-ventral patterning during development and mediates immune response through a Toll-Cactus-Dorsal pathway (3-5).
