摘要

Axis specification is a fundamental developmental process. Despite this, the mechanisms by which it is controlled across insect taxa are strikingly different. An excellent example of this is terminal patterning, which in Diptera such asDrosophila melanogasteroccurs via the localized activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase Torso. In Hymenoptera, however, the same process appears to be achieved via localized mRNA.How these mechanisms evolved and what they evolved from remains largely unexplored. Here, we show thattorso-like, known for its role inDrosophilaterminal patterning, is instead required for the integrity of the vitelline membrane in the hymenopteran waspNasonia vitripennis. We find that other genes known to be involved inDrosophilaterminal patterning, such astorsoandPtth, also do not function inNasoniaembryonic development. These findings extended to orthologues ofDrosophilavitelline membrane proteins known to play a role in localizing Torso-like inDrosophila; inNasoniathese are instead required for dorso–ventral patterning, gastrulation and potentially terminal patterning. Our data underscore the importance of the vitelline membrane in insect development, and implies phenotypes caused by knockdown oftorso-likemust be interpreted in light of its function in the vitelline membrane. In addition, our data imply that the signalling components of theDrosophilaterminal patterning systems were co-opted from roles in regulating moulting, and co-option into terminal patterning involved the evolution of a novel interaction with the vitelline membrane protein Torso-like.This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.
