This thesis investigates the connection between the Sirtuin1 protein (Sirt1) and the Notch signaling pathway in Drosophila melanogaster. We used RNAi to downregulate the Sirt1 gene expression in a tissue specific manner in the muscles, brain, fat body, and wing disc and tested the sensitivity of Notch pathway to dietary amino acids. We identified tissue specific requirements for Sirt1 protein to mediate the sensitivity of Notch pathway to amino acids.
