Journal ArticleDOI
Costal2, a Novel Kinesin-Related Protein in the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway
TL;DR: It is shown that costal2 encodes a kinesin-related protein that accumulates preferentially in cells capable of responding to HH, and that CI associates with COS2 in a large protein complex, suggesting that C OS2 directly controls the activity of CI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sonic hedgehog in the nervous system: functions, modifications and mechanisms
Karen S. Ho,Matthew P. Scott +1 more
TL;DR: Subsequent trafficking and organelle sorting in the Shh signaling pathway have been observed and offer a new dimension to the understanding of downstream signal transduction events.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Caffeine on Sleep in Drosophila Require PKA Activity, But Not the Adenosine Receptor
TL;DR: It is suggested that chronic administration of caffeine promotes wakefulness in Drosophila, at least in part, by inhibiting cAMP phosphodiesterase activity.
Book ChapterDOI
Drosophila melanogaster: an insect model for fundamental studies of sleep.
Karen S. Ho,Amita Sehgal +1 more
TL;DR: The methods currently used to identify and characterize the Drosophila sleep state are reviewed and the powerful techniques afforded by this organism are likely to unveil deep insights into the function(s) and regulatory mechanisms of sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Analysis of large-scale genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data identified OTUD7A as a critical gene for brain function and its reduced levels in Df(h15q13)/+ cortical neurons contributed to the dendritic spine and dendrite outgrowth deficits.
