The accumulation and maintenance in cells or tissues of lipids, compounds soluble in organic solvents but insoluble or sparingly soluble in aqueous solvents. Lipid reserves can be accumulated during early developmental stages for mobilization and utilization at later stages of development.

regulation of translation initiation in response to stress

Any process that activates or increases the rate, frequency or extent of translation initiation, as a result of a stimulus indicating the organism is under stress.

The mechanisms by means of which sequence diversity of antibodies is generated.

Interacting selectively with insulin, a polypeptide hormone produced by the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas in mammals, and by the homologous organs of other organisms.

Mutations that result in amino acid changes in the rearranged V regions of antibodies occurring somatically, during the affinity maturation of B cells as they migrate into the germinal centers.

The rearrangement of DNA in B cells to join separate gene segments into a complete gene encoding an antibody.

Partitioning of the blastoderm embryo into trunk segmental units. In Drosophila, the trunk segments include thoracic segments and abdominal segments A1 to A8.

peptidyl-arginine methylation, to asymmetrical-dimethyl arginine

peptidyl-arginine methylation, to unsymmetrical-dimethyl arginine

The process of methylation of peptidyl-arginine to form peptidyl-N(omega),N(omega)-dimethyl-L-arginine.

specification of segmental identity, intercalary segment

The specification of the characteristic structures of the intercalary segment of the anterior head, following establishment of segment boundaries. Identity is considered to be the aggregate of characteristics by which a structure is recognized.

Catalysis of the reaction: deoxynucleoside triphosphate + DNA(n) = diphosphate + DNA(n+1). A DNA-directed DNA polymerase that may be specific to lymphoid cells and play a role in the somatic hypermutation of antibody genes.
