Distinct molecular cues ensure a robust microtubule-dependent nuclear positioning in the Drosophila oocyte

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Asymmetric nuclear positioning in the fruit fly oocyte is essential for the correct localization of axis determinants. Here, the authors show that different microtubule-dependent mechanisms contribute to nuclear transport and ensure the robustness of ...

Line Orientation Adaptation: Local or Global? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Prolonged exposure to an oriented line shifts the perceived orientation of a subsequently observed line in the opposite direction, a phenomenon known as the tilt aftereffect (TAE).

Light-Induced Protein Clustering for Optogenetic Interference and Protein Interaction Analysis in Drosophila S2 Cells

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2019
Drosophila Schneider 2 (S2) cells are a simple and powerful system commonly used in cell biology because they are well suited for high resolution microscopy and RNAi-mediated depletion.

Bem1p contributes to secretory pathway polarization through a direct interaction with Exo70p. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The exocyst serves to tether secretory vesicles to cortical sites specified by polarity determinants, in preparation for fusion with the plasma membrane.

Integration of Core Mechanisms Underlying Plant Aerial Architecture

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Over the last decade or so important progress has been made in identifying and understanding a set of patterning mechanisms that have the potential to explain many aspects of plant morphology.

Unified quantitative characterization of epithelial tissue development

open access: yeseLife, 2015
Understanding the mechanisms regulating development requires a quantitative characterization of cell divisions, rearrangements, cell size and shape changes, and apoptoses.

Neural Tube Defects: From a Proteomic Standpoint

open access: yesMetabolites, 2015
Neural tube defects (NTDs) are congenital birth defects classified according to their resulting morphological characteristics in newborn patients. Current diagnosis of NTDs relies largely on the structural evaluation of fetuses using ultrasound imaging ...

Golgi-Bypass Is a Major Unconventional Route for Translocation to the Plasma Membrane of Non-Apical Membrane Cargoes in Aspergillus nidulans

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Nutrient transporters have been shown to translocate to the plasma membrane (PM) of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans via an unconventional trafficking route that bypasses the Golgi.

Junctional Adhesion Molecules (JAMs): The JAM-Integrin Connection

open access: yesCells, 2018
Junctional adhesion molecules (JAMs) are cell surface adhesion receptors of the immunoglobulin superfamily. JAMs are involved in a variety of biological processes both in the adult organism but also during development.

aPKC controls endothelial growth by modulating c-Myc via FoxO1 DNA-binding ability

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The cell polarity regulator aPKC is associated with cell proliferation but the precise mechanism are unknown. Here, the authors find that aPKC lambda phosphorylates the FoxO1 transcription factor, a gatekeeper of endothelial growth, during both ...
