Journal ArticleDOI

The discs-large tumor suppressor gene of Drosophila encodes a guanylate kinase homolog localized at septate junctions

TL;DR: The results suggest that a signal transduction process involving guanine nucleotides occurs at the septate junction and is necessary for cell proliferation control in Drosophila epithelia.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Drosophila Tumor Suppressor Gene Warts Encodes a Homolog of Human Myotonic Dystrophy Kinase and Is Required for the Control of Cell Shape and Proliferation

TL;DR: The results raise the possibility that homozygous loss of the myotonic dystrophy kinase may contribute to the development of multiple pilomatrixomas and with other tumors including neurofibromas and parathyroid adenomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dlg protein is required for junction structure, cell polarity, and proliferation control in Drosophila epithelia.

TL;DR: It is suggested that, besides regulating cellular proliferation, the Dlg protein is a critical component of the septate junctions and is required for maintaining apicobasal polarity in Drosophila epithelium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of Synapse Structure and Function by the Drosophila Tumor Suppressor Gene dlg

TL;DR: It is proposed that DLG is an integral part of a mechanism by which changes in both neurotransmitter release and synapse structure are accomplished during development and plasticity.
