Crumbs and Xpd in mitosis
Mitosis is a fundamental process for chromosome segregation in all multicellular organisms. Misregulation of mitosis can cause genetic instability and cancer. Thus, identification of the genes involved in the regulation of mitosis is important for understanding the mechanism of chromosome segregation and genome instability. Unbiased genetic screens are powerful tools for identifying new gene fu...
متن کاملDynein-mediated apical localization of crumbs transcripts is required for Crumbs activity in epithelial polarity
Asymmetrical localization of transcripts coupled with localized translation constitutes an important mechanism widely deployed to regulate gene activity in a spatial manner. The conserved transmembrane protein Crumbs (Crb) is an important regulator of epithelial polarity. However, it remains unclear how Crb is targeted to the apical domain. Here, we show that the cytoplasmic dynein complex tran...
متن کاملCyber Crumbs: Indoor Orientation and Wayfinding Cyber Crumbs: An Indoor Orientation and Wayfinding Infrastructure
An infrastructure comprised of prototype Cyber Crumbs was developed and evaluated in an NIH SBIR Phase 1 study. The goal was to develop a means of “salting” indoor structures with a network of inexpensive information “crumbs” to assist persons in easily orientating to indoor structures and efficiently navigating through them to desired locations. Infra-Red (IR) communications between Crumbs and...
متن کاملCrumbs turns the corner
rumbs (Crb) helps flies distinguish apical from basal in their epithelia. Now two new studies show that it is required for cell expansion independently of its specification of apical polarity. During cell expansion, the apical domain of photoreceptors elongates perpendicular to the apical–basal axis so that the domain can extend from the top to the bottom of the fly eye. The process may be cons...
متن کاملXPD Helicase Structures and Activities: Insights into the Cancer and Aging Phenotypes from XPD Mutations
Mutations in XPD helicase, required for nucleotide excision repair (NER) as part of the transcription/repair complex TFIIH, cause three distinct phenotypes: cancer-prone xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), or aging disorders Cockayne syndrome (CS), and trichothiodystrophy (TTD). To clarify molecular differences underlying these diseases, we determined crystal structures of the XPD catalytic core from S...
