establishment of apical/basal cell polarity

The specification and formation of the polarity of a cell along its apical/basal axis.

Catalysis of the reaction: 2-hexaprenyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = 2-hexaprenyl-3-methyl-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine.

Interacting selectively with an ATPase, any enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP.

Enables the directed movement of a sugar into, out of, within or between cells. A sugar is any member of a class of sweet, water-soluble, crystallizable carbohydrates, which are the monosaccharides and smaller oligosaccharides.

The stage-specific break down of the larval salivary glands during Drosophila metamorphosis, to allow replacement of larval structures by tissues and structures that form the adult fly.

salivary gland cell autophagic cell death

salivary gland cell programmed cell death by autophagy

The stage-specific programmed cell death of salivary gland cells during salivary gland histolysis.

ecdysone-mediated induction of salivary gland cell autophagic cell death

ecdysone-mediated induction of salivary gland cell programmed cell death by autophagy

Any process induced by ecdysone that directly activates salivary gland programmed cell death during salivary gland histolysis.

The onset of prepupal development when the larval stops crawling, everts its spiracles and the larval cuticle becomes the puparium or pupal case that surrounds the organism for the duration of metamorphosis.

A change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a ecdysone stimulus.

The series of molecular signals generated by ecdysone binding to the ecdysone receptor complex.

induction of programmed cell death by ecdysone

Any process induced by the steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (ecdysone) that directly activates any of the steps required for programmed cell death.

The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a smooth muscle cell; smooth muscle lacks transverse striations in its constituent fibers and are almost always involuntary.
