Asymmetric division of Drosophila male germline stem cell shows asymmetric histone distribution.
Stem cells can self-renew and generate differentiating daughter cells. It is not known whether these cells maintain their epigenetic information during asymmetric division. Using a dual-color method to differentially label "old" versus "new" histones in Drosophila male germline stem cells (GSCs), we show that preexisting canonical H3, but not variant H3.3, histones are selectively segregated to...
متن کاملMechanisms of asymmetric cell divisions in Drosophila melanogaster neuroblasts
Stem cells possess the properties of self-renewal and differentiation, and mainly rely on two strategies for division, including symmetric and asymmetric cell divisions. In this review, we summarize the latest progress on asymmetric cell divisions in Drosophila melanogaster neuroblasts (NBs), which focus on the establishment of cell polarity, mitotic spindle orientation, the asymmetric segregat...
متن کاملConcise Review: Asymmetric Cell Divisions in Stem Cell Biology
Somatic stem cells are rare cells with unique properties residing in many organs and tissues. They are undifferentiated cells responsible for tissue regeneration and homeostasis, and contain both the capacity to self-renew in order to maintain their stem cell potential and to differentiate towards tissue-specific, specialized cells. However, the knowledge about the mechanisms controlling somati...
متن کاملSymmetric vs. Asymmetric Stem Cell Divisions: An Adaptation against Cancer?
Traditionally, it has been held that a central characteristic of stem cells is their ability to divide asymmetrically. Recent advances in inducible genetic labeling provided ample evidence that symmetric stem cell divisions play an important role in adult mammalian homeostasis. It is well understood that the two types of cell divisions differ in terms of the stem cells' flexibility to expand wh...
متن کاملDrosophila neuroblast asymmetric divisions: cell cycle regulators, asymmetric protein localization, and tumorigenesis
Over the past decade, many of the key components of the genetic machinery that regulate the asymmetric division of Drosophila melanogaster neural progenitors, neuroblasts, have been identified and their functions elucidated. Studies over the past two years have shown that many of these identified components act to regulate the self-renewal versus differentiation decision and appear to function ...
