The translationally controlled tumor protein (TPT1, also known as TCTP) is a highly conserved, abundantly expressed protein found in mammals as well as in a wide range of other organisms of both the...

Drosophila Polo Kinase Is Required for Cytokinesis

Carmena, Mar, Riparbelli, Maria Giovanna, Minestrini, Gianluca, Tavares, Álvaro M., Adams, Richard, Callaini, Giuliano, ...

A number of lines of evidence point to a predominance of cytokinesis defects in spermatogenesis in hypomorphic alleles of the Drosophila polo gene. In the pre-meiotic mitoses, cytokinesis defects...

Nup154, a New Drosophila Gene Essential for Male and Female Gametogenesis Is Related to the Nup155 Vertebrate Nucleoporin Gene

Gigliotti, Silvia, Callaini, Giuliano, Andone, Silvia, Riparbelli, Maria Giovanna, Pernas-Alonso, Roberto, Hoffmann, Gyula, ...

The Nup154 gene of Drosophila encodes a protein showing similarity with known nucleoporins: rat Nup155 and yeast Nup170 and Nup157. Hypomorphic mutant alleles of Nup154 affected female and male...
