Abstract

Abstractwingless expression is exquisitely regulated by different factors and enhancers in the imaginal wing discs of Drosophila melanogaster in four domains: the dorsal band, the dorso-ventral boundary, and the inner and outer ring domains. tonalli is a trithorax group gene that encodes a putative SUMO E3 ligase that binds to chromatin to regulate the expression of its targets, including the Hox genes. However, its role in modulating gene expression is barely known. Here, we show that TnaA modulates the wingless expression at two domains of the wing disc, the dorso-ventral boundary and the inner ring. At first, tonalli interacts genetically with Notch to form the wing margin. In the inner ring domain, TnaA modulates wingless transcription. When the dosage of TnaA increases in or near the inner ring since early larval stages, this domain expands with a rapid increase in wingless expression. TnaA occupies the wingless Inner Ring Enhancer at the wing disc, meanwhile it does not affect wingless expression directed by the Ventral Disc Enhancer in leg discs, suggesting that TnaA acts as a wingless enhancer-specific factor. We describe for the first time the presence of TnaA at the Inner Ring Enhancer as a specific regulator of wingless in the development of wing boundaries.
