Cell polarity: Fixing cell polarity with Pins
A protein complex is assembled in a step-wise manner at the apical pole of Drosophila neuroblasts. This complex organizes the apical-basal polarity of asymmetrically dividing neuroblasts, and may act via G-protein signalling.
متن کاملCell polarity
The Minisymposium on Cell Polarity featured a broad array of systems. The session began with talks on asymmetric cortical polarity cues. Lesilee Rose (University of California, Davis) discussed asym-metric division in Caenorhabditis elegans. In the one-cell embryo, PAR polarity proteins regulate cytoplasmic polarity and cortical forces that position the spindle. The latter require the DEP domai...
متن کاملCell Polarity: Lateral Perspectives
The outer and inner (lateral) plasma membranes of the outermost cell layer in plants provide selective barriers to the environment. Recent studies provide perspectives on how asymmetric protein localization is established at lateral membranes.

متن کاملMeru couples planar cell polarity with apical-basal polarity during asymmetric cell division
Polarity is a shared feature of most cells. In epithelia, apical-basal polarity often coexists, and sometimes intersects with planar cell polarity (PCP), which orients cells in the epithelial plane. From a limited set of core building blocks (e.g. the Par complexes for apical-basal polarity and the Frizzled/Dishevelled complex for PCP), a diverse array of polarized cells and tissues are generat...
