TRIP/NOPO E3 ubiquitin ligase promotes ubiquitylation of DNA polymerase η
Mar. 14, 2014—TRIP/NOPO E3 ubiquitin ligase promotes ubiquitylation of DNA polymerase η Heather A. Wallace1,2,‡, Julie A. Merkle1,*,‡, Michael C. Yu1, Taloa G. Berg1, Ethan Lee1, Giovanni Bosco2 and Laura A. Lee1,§ Abstract We previously identified a Drosophila maternal effect-lethal mutant named ‘no poles’ (nopo). Embryos from nopo females undergo mitotic arrest with barrel-shaped, acentrosomal spindles during...

Motor and tail homology 1 (Th1) domains antagonistically control myosin-1 dynamics
Feb. 4, 2014—Motor and Tail Homology 1 (TH1) Domains Antagonistically Control Myosin-1 Dynamics Jessica N. Mazerik, Lewis J. Kraft, Anne K. Kenworthy, Matthew J. Tyska Abstract Class 1 myosins are monomeric motor proteins that fulfill diverse functions at the membrane/cytoskeletal interface. All myosins-1 contain a motor domain, which binds actin, hydrolyzes ATP, and generates forces, and a...

asunder is required for dynein localization and dorsal fate determination during Drosophila oogenesis
Feb. 1, 2014—asunder is required for dynein localization and dorsal fate determination during Drosophila oogenesis Poojitha Sitaram, Julie A. Merkle1, Ethan Lee, Laura A. Lee Abstract We previously showed that asunder (asun) is a critical regulator of dynein localization during Drosophila spermatogenesis. Because the expression of asun is much higher in Drosophila ovaries and early embryos than...
