High impact information on fs(1)Ya

 

Biological context of fs(1)Ya

  • Furthermore, cell cycle stage dependent nuclear localization is also seen for ectopically produced fs(1)Ya protein in tissue culture cells, neuroblasts, and male accessory glands, which are free of maternal products [3].
  • Double mutant analyses between Ya and gnu suggest that YA plays a role in the nuclear envelope permissive for rounds of DNA replication [4].
  • To define the function of YA in the nuclear envelope during early embryonic development, we characterized the phenotypes of four Ya mutants alleles and determined their molecular lesions [5].
  • A model for YA function at the end of Drosophila female meiosis is proposed [6].
  • Yeast two-hybrid analysis and transient transfection assays further defined this domain: residues 556-696 of YA are sufficient for both lamin Dm0 interaction and the targeting of GFP-NLS to the nuclear periphery [7].
 

Anatomical context of fs(1)Ya

  • The Drosophila fs(1)Ya protein, which is needed for the first mitotic division, is in the nuclear lamina and in the envelopes of cleavage nuclei, pronuclei, and nonmitotic nuclei [3].
  • Ectopically expressed YA is present in the nuclear envelopes of spermatocytes, but not in mature sperm, similar to endogenous lamin Dm [4].
  • YA in ovaries is hyperphosphorylated relative to YA in unfertilized eggs and embryos [8].
  • Drosophila P0/AP3, a ribosomal protein that is also an apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease, binds to YA in ovary and embryo cytoplasms [9].
  • Mutant zygotes lacking functional YA arrest in the first division cycles following fertilization, hence having a 'Young Arrest' of their development [10].
 

Associations of fs(1)Ya with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of fs(1)Ya

  • Here, we show that C-terminal lamin-interacting region of YA is sufficient to target the heterologous soluble protein GFP-NLS to the nuclear periphery in Drosophila tissue culture cells [7].
 

Enzymatic interactions of fs(1)Ya

  • We propose that the P0-containing 20S cytoplasmic complex retains hyperphosphorylated ovarian YA in the cytoplasm [9].
