Journal ArticleDOI

Altered Ribostasis: RNA-Protein Granules in Degenerative Disorders

TL;DR: Observations suggest that understanding and modulating RNP assembly or clearance may be effective approaches to developing therapies for degenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Staufen- and FMRP-containing neuronal RNPs are structurally and functionally related to somatic P bodies.

TL;DR: It is shown that staufen- and FMRP-containing RNPs in Drosophila neurons contain proteins also present in somatic "P bodies," including the RNA-degradative enzymes Dcp1p and Xrn1p/Pacman and crucial components of miRNA (argonaute), NMD (Upf1p), and general translational repression pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Organization of Extrinsic Neurons and Their Implications in the Functional Roles of the Mushroom Bodies in Drosophila melanogaster Meigen

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel presynaptic reporter construct, UAS-neuronal synaptobrevin-green fluorescent protein (n-syb-GFP), was used to reveal the direction of information in the GAL4-labeled neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Drosophila Easily Shocked Gene: A Mutation in a Phospholipid Synthetic Pathway Causes Seizure, Neuronal Failure, and Paralysis

TL;DR: Molecular cloning, germline transformation, and biochemical experiments show that eas mutants are defective in the gene for ethanolamine kinase, which is required for a pathway of phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis.
