Role of BicDR in bristle shaft construction, tracheal development, and support of BicD functions

This study investigates BicDR's role in bristle shaft construction, tracheal development, and its interaction with BicD in cargo transport and actin cytoskeleton organization.

RNA Targets and Function of Topoisomerase 3β in Reducing Cellular Stress

This study identifies RNA targets of Drosophila Top3β and shows its role in reducing neurodegeneration and maintaining cellular function.

Circular single-stranded DNA is a superior homology-directed repair donor template for efficient genome engineering

This paper develops a non-viral system for efficient genome engineering using circular single-stranded DNA (cssDNA) donors, achieving high knock-in efficiency and improved safety compared to viral vectors.

Differential modifications of the C-terminal tails of α-tubulin isoforms and their importance for kinesin-based microtubule transport in vivo

This study identifies differential glutamylation of α-tubulin isoforms in Drosophila and shows its role in Kinesin-1-dependent processes like germline transport and axonal mitochondrial trafficking.

An aminoacylation independent activity of PheRS/FARS promotes growth and proliferation

The paper shows that elevated PheRS/FARS subunit expression promotes cell growth and proliferation independently of its aminoacylation activity and translation.

Mms19 promotes spindle microtubule assembly in neural stem cells through two distinct pathways

This study identifies Mms19's role in promoting spindle microtubule assembly in Drosophila neural stem cells through two distinct pathways.

α-Phenylalanyl tRNA synthetase competes with Notch signaling through its N-terminal domain

This paper shows that elevated -PheRS levels in Drosophila midguts induce tumor-like phenotypes by counteracting Notch signaling through its N-terminal domain.
