Bax-like protein Drob-1 protects neurons from expanded polyglutamine-induced toxicity in Drosophila

Senoo-Matsuda, Nanami, Igaki, Tatsushi, Miura, Masayuki

Bcl-2 family proteins regulate cell death through the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Here, we show that the Drosophila Bax-like Bcl-2 family protein Drob-1 maintains mitochondrial function to...

DRONC Coordinates Cell Death and Compensatory Proliferation—

Kondo, Shu, Senoo-Matsuda, Nanami, Hiromi, Yasushi, Miura, Masayuki

Accidental cell death often leads to compensatory proliferation. In Drosophila imaginal discs, for example, γ-irradiation induces extensive cell death, which is rapidly compensated by elevated...

Soluble factors mediate competitive and cooperative interactions between cells expressing different levels of Drosophila Myc

Senoo-Matsuda, Nanami, Johnston, Laura A.

When neighboring cells in the developing Drosophila wing express different levels of the transcription factor, dMyc, competitive interactions can occur. Cells with more dMyc proliferate and...
