The Lnk/SH2B adaptor provides a fail-safe mechanism to establish the Insulin receptor-Chico interactionIsabel Almudi
Institute of Molecular Systems Biology, ETH Zurich, Wolfgang Pauli Strasse 16, Zurich 8093, Switzerland
Cell Commun Signal 11:26. 2013..The adaptor molecule Lnk/SH2B has been implicated in IIS but the mechanism by which it promotes IIS activity has remained enigmatic...
Imp-L2, a putative homolog of vertebrate IGF-binding protein 7, counteracts insulin signaling in Drosophila and is essential for starvation resistanceBasil Honegger
Zoological Institute, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, CH 8057 Zurich, Switzerland
J Biol 7:10. 2008..In mammals, insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) bind IGFs with high affinity and modulate their mitogenic, anti-apoptotic and metabolic actions, but no functional homologs have been identified in invertebrates so far...
Drosophila insulin and target of rapamycin (TOR) pathways regulate GSK3 beta activity to control Myc stability and determine Myc expression in vivoFederica Parisi
Department of Biology, City College of City University of New York, New York, USA
BMC Biol 9:65. 2011..Using biochemical and genetic approaches we tried to identify novel mechanisms that control Myc activity upon activation of insulin and TOR signaling pathways...
Growth control: Myc and Yorkie get connectedHugo Stocker
Institute of Molecular Systems Biology, ETH Zurich, Wolfgang Pauli Strasse 16, CH 8093 Zurich, Switzerland
Curr Biol 21:R37-9. 2011..In turn, Myc keeps the concentration of Yorkie in check via negative feedback regulation...
The WW domain protein Kibra acts upstream of Hippo in DrosophilaRoland Baumgartner
Institute of Molecular Systems Biology, ETH Zurich, Wolfgang Pauli Strasse 16, 8093 Zurich, Switzerland
Dev Cell 18:309-16. 2010..Kibra acts synergistically with Expanded, and it physically interacts with Merlin. Thus, Kibra predominantly acts in the Merlin branch upstream of the core kinase cascade to regulate Hippo signaling...
Drosophila Pez acts in Hippo signaling to restrict intestinal stem cell proliferationIngrid Poernbacher
Institute of Molecular Systems Biology, ETH Zurich, Wolfgang Pauli Strasse 16, 8093 Zurich, Switzerland
Curr Biol 22:389-96. 2012..Thus, Pez displays a tissue-specific requirement and functions as a negative upstream regulator of Yki in the regulation of ISC proliferation...
Madm (Mlf1 adapter molecule) cooperates with Bunched A to promote growth in DrosophilaSilvia Gluderer
Institute of Molecular Systems Biology, ETH Zurich, Wolfgang Pauli Strasse 16, 8093 Zurich, Switzerland
J Biol 9:9. 2010..In Drosophila, the long isoform Bunched A (BunA) acts as a growth promoter, but how BunA controls growth has remained obscure...
The Drosophila SH2B family adaptor Lnk acts in parallel to chico in the insulin signaling pathwayChristian Werz
Institute of Molecular Systems Biology, Zurich, Switzerland
PLoS Genet 5:e1000596. 2009..Furthermore, chico; lnk double mutants are synthetically lethal, suggesting that Chico and Lnk fulfill independent but partially redundant functions in the activation of PI3K upon InR stimulation...
Modularity and hormone sensitivity of the Drosophila melanogaster insulin receptor/target of rapamycin interaction proteomeTimo Glatter
Department of Biology, Institute of Molecular Systems Biology, ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Mol Syst Biol 7:547. 2011..Subsequent genetic studies in flies suggest a role for dTTT in controlling cell growth via a dTORC1- and dTORC2-dependent mechanism...
MK2-dependent p38b signalling protects Drosophila hindgut enterocytes against JNK-induced apoptosis under chronic stressGerhard Seisenbacher
Institute of Molecular Systems Biology, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
PLoS Genet 7:e1002168. 2011..Thus, the p38/MK2 complex ensures homeostasis of the hindgut epithelium by counteracting JNK-mediated apoptosis of the enterocytes upon chronic stress...
Bunched, the Drosophila homolog of the mammalian tumor suppressor TSC-22, promotes cellular growthSilvia Gluderer
Institute of Molecular Systems Biology, ETH Zurich, Wolfgang Pauli Str, 16, 8093 Zurich, Switzerland
BMC Dev Biol 8:10. 2008..Possible redundancy among the members of the TSC-22/Dip/Bun protein family complicates a genetic analysis. In Drosophila, all proteins homologous to the TSC-22/Dip/Bun family members are derived from a single locus called bunched (bun)...
Getting started : an overview on raising and handling DrosophilaHugo Stocker
Institute for Molecular Systems Biology, ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Methods Mol Biol 420:27-44. 2008..It briefly introduces the biological properties of fruit flies, describes the minimal equipment required for working with flies, and offers some basic advice for maintaining fly lines and setting up and analyzing experiments...
