Organ Shape: Controlling Oriented Cell Division
One mechanism by which organisms control the shape of growing organs is by regulating the orientation of cell divisions. This occurs in the Drosophila wing under the control of genes previously implicated in regulating cell polarity.
متن کاملHoxb1b controls oriented cell division, cell shape and microtubule dynamics in neural tube morphogenesis
Hox genes are classically ascribed to function in patterning the anterior-posterior axis of bilaterian animals; however, their role in directing molecular mechanisms underlying morphogenesis at the cellular level remains largely unstudied. We unveil a non-classical role for the zebrafish hoxb1b gene, which shares ancestral functions with mammalian Hoxa1, in controlling progenitor cell shape and...
متن کاملControlling division planes
migrated back toward the center of the retina and became an RGC, while the other remained near the outer surface and differentiated into a different cell type. When GFP-marked, wild-type cells were transplanted to embryos lacking Ath5, the cell division pattern changed. As in wild-type retinas, the cells moved to the periphery upon Ath5 expression and usually divided once. However, instead of o...
متن کاملCell Shape and Cell Division in Fission Yeast
The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has served as an important model organism for investigating cellular morphogenesis. This unicellular rod-shaped fission yeast grows by tip extension and divides by medial fission. In particular, microtubules appear to define sites of polarized cell growth by delivering cell polarity factors to the cell tips. Microtubules also position the cell nucleus...
متن کاملCell Fate Decision Making through Oriented Cell Division
The ability to dictate cell fate decisions is critical during animal development. Moreover, faithful execution of this process ensures proper tissue homeostasis throughout adulthood, whereas defects in the molecular machinery involved may contribute to disease. Evolutionarily conserved protein complexes control cell fate decisions across diverse tissues. Maintaining proper daughter cell inherit...
