    Description: A major transition in evolution is the origin of a division between reproduction and work among individuals. Nowhere is this divide more striking than in social insects, where workers rarely produce offspring even though they are often capable of reproduction should the queen or king die. The molecular mechanisms that control worker reproduction remain largely unknown. We used a combination of behavioral assays and RNA interference (RNAi) to identify a gene required for the reproductive division of labor between the queen and the workers.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Korb, Judith -- Weil, Tobias -- Hoffmann, Katharina -- Foster, Kevin R -- Rehli, Michael -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 May 8;324(5928):758. doi: 10.1126/science.1170660.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Behavioral Biology, University of Osnabrueck, Barbarastrasse 11, D-49076 Osnabrueck, Germany. judith.korb@biologie.uni-osnabrueck.de〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19423819" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Deposition of the amyloid-beta peptide is a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. A high-throughput functional genomics screen identified G protein-coupled receptor 3 (GPR3), a constitutively active orphan G protein-coupled receptor, as a modulator of amyloid-beta production. Overexpression of GPR3 stimulated amyloid-beta production, whereas genetic ablation of GPR3 prevented accumulation of the amyloid-beta peptide in vitro and in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model. GPR3 expression led to increased formation and cell-surface localization of the mature gamma-secretase complex in the absence of an effect on Notch processing. GPR3 is highly expressed in areas of the normal human brain implicated in Alzheimer's disease and is elevated in the sporadic Alzheimer's disease brain. Thus, GPR3 represents a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Thathiah, Amantha -- Spittaels, Kurt -- Hoffmann, Marcel -- Staes, Mik -- Cohen, Adrian -- Horre, Katrien -- Vanbrabant, Mieke -- Coun, Frea -- Baekelandt, Veerle -- Delacourte, Andre -- Fischer, David F -- Pollet, Dirk -- De Strooper, Bart -- Merchiers, Pascal -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Feb 13;323(5916):946-51. doi: 10.1126/science.1160649.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Developmental Genetics, Vlaams Institute for Biotechnology, Center for Human Genetics, Catholic University of Leuven, Herestraat 49, 3000 Leuven, Belgium.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19213921" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
