Abstract

Membrane-Associated Guanylate Kinase proteins (MAGUKs) are involved in clustering cell adhesion molecules, receptors and intracellular signalling molecules into function membrane-associated protein complexes. Discs-large (D1g), the prototypic member of this family of proteins, is required for cell polarity, proliferation control and cell junction structure in Drosophila epithelia. Whilst much is known about the development roles of D1g, many details of the composition, activity and regulation of D1g complexes remains to be elucidated. This project aims to further our understanding of the regulation of proliferation control by D1g and D1g-associated proteins in Drosophila by a combination of genetic and proteomics approaches.
