New insights into the regulatory function of CYFIP1 in the context of WAVE- and FMRP-containing complexes
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2017)Cytoplasmic FMRP interacting protein 1 (CYFIP1) is a candidate gene for intellectual disability (ID) autism schizophrenia and epilepsy. It is a member of a family of proteins that is highly conserved during evolution sharing high homology with its Drosophila homolog dCYFIP. CYFIP1 interacts with the Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP encoded by the FMR1 gene) whose absence causes Fragile X syndrome and with the translation initiation factor eIF4E. It is a member of theWAVE regulatory complex ...

Novel Mutants of the Aubergine Gene
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2016)Aubergine is an RNA-binding protein of the Piwi clade functioning in germline in the piRNA pathway that silences transposons and repetitive sequences. Several mutations of this gene exist but they mostly result in truncated proteins or correspond to mutations that also affect neighboring genes. We have generated complete aubergine knock-out mutants that do not disrupt the neighboring genes. These novel mutants are characterized by PCR and sequencing. Their nature is confirmed by female sterility ...

Salt inducible kinases as novel Notch interactors in the developing Drosophilaretina
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Public Library Science, 2020)Developmental processes require strict regulation of proliferation, differentiation and patterning for the generation of final organ size. Aberrations in these fundamental events are critically important in tumorigenesis and cancer progression.Salt inducible kinases(Siks) are evolutionarily conserved genes involved in diverse biological processes, including salt sensing, metabolism, muscle, cartilage and bone formation, but their role in development remains largely unknown. Recent findings implicate ...

The Drosophila fragile X mental retardation protein participates in the piRNA pathway
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2015)RNA metabolism controls multiple biological processes and a specific class of small RNAs called piRNAs act as genome guardians by silencing the expression of transposons and repetitive sequences in the gonads. Defects in the piRNA pathway affect genome integrity and fertility. The possible implications in physiopathological mechanisms of human diseases have made the piRNA pathway the object of intense investigation and recent work suggests that there is a role for this pathway in somatic processes ...
