چکیده
The mechanism for the basal targeting of the Miranda (Mira) complex during the asymmetric division of Drosophila neuroblasts (NBs) is yet to be fully understood. We have identified conserved Phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activator (PTPA) as a novel mediator for the basal localization of the Mira complex in larval brain NBs. In mutant Ptpa NBs, Mira remains cytoplasmic during early mitosis and its basal localization is delayed until anaphase. Detailed analyses indicate that PTPA acts independent of and before aPKC to localize Mira. Mechanistically, our data show that the phosphorylation status of the T591 residue determines the subcellular localization of Mira and that PTPA facilitates the dephosphorylation of T591. Furthermore, PTPA associates with the Protein phosphatase 4 complex to mediate localization of Mira. On the basis of these results, a two-step process for the basal localization of Mira during NB division is revealed: cortical association of Mira mediated by the PTPA-PP4 complex is followed by apical aPKC-mediated basal restriction.

35/44-approximation for Asymmetric maxTSP with Triangle Inequality
We describe a new approximation algorithm for the asymmetric maxTSP with triangle inequality. Our algorithm achieves approximation factor 35/44 which improves on the previous 10/13 factor of Kaplan et al. [5].
متن کاملReduced performance difference between sexes in master mountain and city marathon running
BACKGROUND The performance in master marathoners has been investigated in flat city marathons but not in mountain marathons. This study examined changes in the sex differences in performance across time in female and male master runners competing in a mountain marathon compared to a flat city marathon. METHODS The association between age and performance of finishers in the Jungfrau Marathon, ...
متن کاملCoronary heart disease mortality trends in men in the post World War II birth cohorts aged 35-44 in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan compared with the United States.
BACKGROUND Since World War II, people in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have been exposed to a westernized lifestyle. It is most likely that the post World War II cohorts (1950+) have been more exposed. We hypothesize that there would be an increase in mortality from coronary heart disease (CHD) in men aged 35-44 in these countries. METHODS AND RESULTS Mortality from CHD in men aged 35-44 in ...
متن کاملFirst births to older women continue to rise.
KEY FINDINGS Data from the National Vital Statistics System The first birth rate for women aged 35-39 increased from 1970 to 2006, decreased from 2006 to 2010, and increased again in both 2011 and 2012. The first birth rate for women aged 40-44 was steady in the 1970s and started increasing in the 1980s. The rate more than doubled from 1990 to 2012. For women aged 35-39 and 40-44 all race and H...
