Significance The Crumbs–PALS1–PATJ complex is vital for the development and maintenance of the polarity of diverse tissues. Defects in Crumbs–PALS1–PATJ complex formation are known to cause diseases… Expand
OsPT2, a phosphate transporter, is involved in the active uptake of selenite in rice
Selenite is a predominant form of selenium (Se) available to plants, especially in anaerobic soils, but the molecular mechanism of selenite uptake by plants is not well understood. ltn1, a rice… Expand
Angiomotin binding-induced activation of Merlin/NF2 in the Hippo pathway
The tumor suppressor Merlin/NF2 functions upstream of the core Hippo pathway kinases Lats1/2 and Mst1/2, as well as the nuclear E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL4DCAF1. Numerous mutations of Merlin have been… Expand
Structural Basis for the Phosphorylation-regulated Interaction between the Cytoplasmic Tail of Cell Polarity Protein Crumbs and the Actin-binding Protein Moesin*
Background: Crumbs functions in cell growth control via its short cytoplasmic tail. Results: The structure of the crumbs cytoplasmic tail in complex with moesin protein 4.1/ezrin/radixin/moesin… Expand

Genomic instability (GI) is a hallmark of many cancers. GI is believed toconfer upon impending neoplastic cells the ability to accumulate all of therequisite mutations for transformation within the… Expand
A c‐Myc‐MicroRNA functional feedback loop affects hepatocarcinogenesis
c‐Myc (Myc) plays an important role in normal liver development and tumorigenesis. We show here that Myc is pathologically activated in and essential for promoting human hepatocellular carcinoma… Expand
