Maintaining epithelial integrity
The Short stop (Shot/Kakapo) spectraplakin is a giant cytoskeletal protein, which exists in multiple isoforms with characteristics of both spectrin and plakin superfamilies. Previously characterized Shot isoforms are similar to spectrin and dystrophin, with an actin-binding domain followed by spectrin repeats. We describe a new large exon within the shot locus, which encodes a series of plakin ...
متن کاملNeurl4 contributes to germ cell formation and integrity in Drosophila
Primordial germ cells (PGCs) form at the posterior pole of the Drosophila embryo, and then migrate to their final destination in the gonad where they will produce eggs or sperm. Studies of the different stages in this process, including assembly of germ plasm in the oocyte during oogenesis, specification of a subset of syncytial embryonic nuclei as PGCs, and migration, have been informed by gen...
متن کاملXnf7 Contributes to Spindle Integrity through Its Microtubule-Bundling Activity
Regulation of microtubule dynamics and organization in mitosis by a number of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) is required for proper bipolar spindle assembly, yet the precise mechanisms by which many MAPs function are poorly understood. One interesting class of MAPs is known to localize to the nucleus during interphase yet fulfill important spindle functions during mitosis. We have ident...
متن کاملMembranous CD24 drives the epithelial phenotype of pancreatic cancer
Surface CD24 has previously been described, together with CD44 and ESA, for the characterization of putative cancer stem cells in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most fatal of all solid tumors. CD24 has a variety of biological functions including the regulation of invasiveness and cell proliferation, depending on the tumor entity and subcellular localization. Genetically engineered...
متن کاملThe novel intestinal filament organizer IFO-1 contributes to epithelial integrity in concert with ERM-1 and DLG-1.
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an excellent model system in which to study in vivo organization and function of the intermediate filament (IF) system for epithelial development and function. Using a transgenic ifb-2::cfp reporter strain, a mutagenesis screen was performed to identify mutants with aberrant expression patterns of the IF protein IFB-2, which is expressed in a dense network...
