Journal ArticleDOI
Drosophila KAP interacts with the kinesin II motor subunit KLP64D to assemble chordotonal sensory cilia, but not sperm tails.
Ritu Sarpal,Sokol V. Todi,Elena Sivan-Loukianova,Seema Shirolikar,Narayan Subramanian,Elizabeth C. Raff,James W. Erickson,Krishanu Ray,Daniel F. Eberl +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that mutations in the Drosophila KAP gene could eliminate the sensory cilia as well as the sound-evoked potentials of Johnston's organ (JO) neurons and both the DmKap and the Klp64D mutant adults produce vigorously motile sperm with normal axonemes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytoplasmic dynein (ddlc1) mutations cause morphogenetic defects and apoptotic cell death in Drosophila melanogaster.
TL;DR: The molecular and genetic characterization of the cytoplasmic dynein light-chain gene, ddlc1, from Drosophila melanogaster, is reported, and its genetic analysis represents the first in vivo characterization of cytopalasmic Dynein function in higher eucaryotes.
Journal ArticleDOI
malvolio, the Drosophila homologue of mouse NRAMP-1 (Bcg), is expressed in macrophages and in the nervous system and is required for normal taste behaviour.
TL;DR: It is shown that loss‐of‐function as well as insertional mutants in mvl display defects in taste behaviour with no alterations in the physiology of the sensory neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinesin-II Is Required for Axonal Transport of Choline Acetyltransferase in Drosophila
Krishanu Ray,Sharon E. Perez,Zhaohuai Yang,Jenny Xu,Bruce W. Ritchings,Hermann Steller,Lawrence S.B. Goldstein +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that kinesin-II is required for the axonal transport of a soluble enzyme, choline acetyltransferase, in a specific subset of neurons in Drosophila, and lead to the conclusion that the cargo transport requirements of different classes of neurons may lead to upregulation of specific pathways of axonal Transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
A marine natural product inhibitor of kinesin motors.
Roman Sakowicz,Michael S. Berdelis,Krishanu Ray,Christine L. Blackburn,Cordula Hopmann,D. John Faulkner,Lawrence S.B. Goldstein +6 more
TL;DR: Members of the kinesin superfamily of motor proteins are essential for mitotic and meiotic spindle organization, chromosome segregation, organelle and vesicle transport, and many other processes that require microtubule-based transport.
