A mouse homologue of Drosophila pins can asymmetrically localize and substitute for pins function in Drosophila neuroblasts.
Asymmetric cell division is a fundamental mechanism used to generate cellular diversity in invertebrates and vertebrates. In Drosophila, asymmetric division of neuroblasts is achieved by the asymmetric segregation of cell fate determinants Prospero and Numb into the basal daughter cell. Asymmetric segregation of cell fate determinants requires an apically localized protein complex that includes...
متن کاملMicrotubule-Induced Pins/Gαi Cortical Polarity in Drosophila Neuroblasts
Cortical polarity regulates cell division, migration, and differentiation. Microtubules induce cortical polarity in yeast, but few examples are known in metazoans. We show that astral microtubules, kinesin Khc-73, and Discs large (Dlg) induce cortical polarization of Pins/Gai in Drosophila neuroblasts; this cortical domain is functional for generating spindle asymmetry, daughtercell-size asymme...

متن کاملStraight SU-8 pins
SU-8 can be patterned with high resolution, is flexible and tough. These characteristics qualify SU-8 as a material for making spotting pins for printing DNA and protein microarrays, and it can potentially replace the commonly used silicon and steel pins that are expensive, brittle in the case of silicon and can damage the substrate during the printing process. SU-8, however, accumulates large ...
متن کاملAsymmetrically Distributed C. elegans Homologs of AGS3/PINS Control Spindle Position in the Early Embryo
BACKGROUND Spindle positioning during an asymmetric cell division is of fundamental importance to ensure correct size of daughter cells and segregation of determinants. In the C. elegans embryo, the first spindle is asymmetrically positioned, and this asymmetry is controlled redundantly by two heterotrimeric Galpha subunits, GOA-1 and GPA-16. The Galpha subunits act downstream of the PAR polari...
