Adipocyte-Derived Amino Acid Storage Proteins are Required for Germline Stem Cell Maintenance in Adult Drosophila Females

Anna B. Zike, Mekenzi O. Hazen, M. Abel, Eleanor B. Goldstone, Robert C. Eisman, Lesley N. Weaver

This study shows that adipocyte-derived amino acid storage proteins are essential for maintaining germline stem cells in adult Drosophila females through TOR signaling regulation.

A minimal model for the role of Rim4 in regulating meiotic exit in budding yeast

V. Abigail Marquez Davila, Pallavi Gadgil, Anna B. Zike, Gisela Cairo, Renyu Wang, Sima Setayeshgar, Soni Lacefield

The paper develops a mathematical model to show that Rim4 degradation and Ama1 translation are essential for irreversible meiotic exit in budding yeast.

Estrogen-Related Receptor is Required in Adult Drosophila Females for Germline Stem Cell Maintenance

Anna B. Zike, M. Abel, Sophie A. Fleck, Emily D. DeWitt, Lesley N. Weaver

This study shows that ERR is required in adult Drosophila females for maintaining germline stem cells and promoting egg production, with cell-autonomous effects in the germline and not through adipocytes.
