Meru couples planar cell polarity with apical-basal polarity during asymmetric cell division

eLife, 2017
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.

Polarity reveals intrinsic cell chirality [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
Like blood neutrophils, dHL60 cells respond to a uniform concentration of attractant by polarizing in apparently random directions. How each cell chooses its own direction is unknown. We now find that an arrow drawn from the center of the nucleus of an unpolarized cell to its centrosome strongly predicts the subsequent direction of attractant-induced ...

Network divergence analysis identifies adaptive gene modules and two orthogonal vulnerability axes in pancreatic cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumors contain diverse cellular states whose behavior is shaped by context‐dependent gene coordination. By comparing gene–gene relationships across biological contexts, we identify adaptive transcriptional modules that reorganize into distinct vulnerability axes.

Regulation of polarised growth in fungi [PDF]

, 2008
Polarised growth in fungi occurs through the delivery of secretory vesicles along tracks formed by cytoskeletal elements to specific sites on the cell surface where they dock with a multiprotein structure called the exocyst before fusing with the ...

Spherical Caps in Cell Polarization [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2018
Intracellular symmetry breaking plays a key role in wide range of biological processes, both in single cells and in multicellular organisms. An important class of symmetry-breaking mechanisms relies on the cytoplasm/membrane redistribution of proteins that can autocatalytically promote their own recruitment to the plasma membrane.

COMP–PMEPA1 axis promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study reveals that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer. We identify PMEPA1 (protein TMEPAI) as a novel COMP‐binding partner that mediates EMT via binding to the TSP domains of COMP, establishing the COMP–PMEPA1 axis as a key EMT driver in breast cancer.

RhoGDI1 regulates cell-cell junctions in polarized epithelial cells

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
Cell-cell contact formation of polarized epithelial cells is a multi-step process that involves the co-ordinated activities of Rho family small GTPases. Consistent with the central role of Rho GTPases, a number of Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors (

High expression of Rac1 is correlated with partial reversed cell polarity and poor prognosis in invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast

Tumor Biology, 2017
The change of cell polarity is usually associated with invasion and metastasis. Partial reverse cell polarity in IDC-NOS may play a role in lymphatic tumor spread. Rac1 is a kind of polarity related protein.

The Role of Intracellular Interactions in the Collective Polarization of Tissues and its Interplay with Cellular Geometry

, 2019
Planar cell polarity (PCP), the coherent in-plane polarization of a tissue on multicellular length scales, provides directional information that guides a multitude of developmental processes at cellular and tissue levels.

Single-Flux-Quantum Bipolar Digital-to-Analog Converter Comprising Polarity-Switchable Double-Flux-Quantum Amplifier [PDF]

, 2017
We present a single-flux-quantum (SFQ)-based digital-to-analog converter (DAC) generating bipolar output voltages, in which the key component is a polarity-switchable double-flux-quantum amplifier (PS-DFQA). The DAC comprised a dc/SFQ converter, an 8-bit
