    Abstract Vision is mainly based on two different tasks, object detection and color discrimination, carried out by photoreceptor (PR) cells. The Drosophila compound eye consists of ∼800 ommatidia. Every ommatidium contains eight PR cells, six outer cells (R1-R6) and two inner cells (R7 and R8), by which object detection and color vision are achieved, respectively. Expression of opsin genes in R7 and R8 is highly coordinated through the instructive signal from R7 to R8, and two major ommatidial subtypes are distributed stochastically; pale type expresses Rh3/Rh5 and yellow type expresses Rh4/Rh6 in R7/R8. The homeodomain protein Defective proventriculus (Dve) is expressed in yellow-type R7 and in six outer PRs, and it is involved in Rh3 repression to specify the yellow-type R7. dve mutant eyes exhibited atypical coupling, Rh3/Rh6 and Rh4/Rh5, indicating that Dve activity is required for proper opsin coupling. Surprisingly, Dve activity in R1 is required for the instructive signal, whereas activity in R6 and R7 blocks the signal. Our results indicate that functional coupling of two different neurons is established through signaling pathways from adjacent neurons that are functionally different.

    Abstract How complex networks of activators and repressors lead to exquisitely specific cell-type determination during development is poorly understood. In the Drosophila eye, expression patterns of Rhodopsins define at least eight functionally distinct though related subtypes of photoreceptors. Here, we describe a role for the transcription factor gene defective proventriculus (dve) as a critical node in the network regulating Rhodopsin expression. dve is a shared component of two opposing, interlocked feedforward loops (FFLs). Orthodenticle and Dve interact in an incoherent FFL to repress Rhodopsin expression throughout the eye. In R7 and R8 photoreceptors, a coherent FFL relieves repression by Dve while activating Rhodopsin expression. Therefore, this network uses repression to restrict and combinatorial activation to induce cell-type-specific expression. Furthermore, Dve levels are finely tuned to yield cell-type- and region-specific repression or activation outcomes. This interlocked FFL motif may be a general mechanism to control terminal cell-fate specification.
