This technique is then used to show that Gα is required for generating asymmetric pulling forces.

Nature. 422:2003;326-330 This study links the local activity of aPKC in phosphorylating Lgl at the apical cortex to regulate Lgl's association with the cell cortex. This provides a potential mechanism for restricting basal targeting of cell fate determinants during asymmetric cell division in Drosophila neuroblasts.

Dev Cell. 3:2002;221-231 This study shows that Numb recruits α-Adaptin, a member of the AP2 complex, to an asymmetrically localized crescent in dividing SOPs. The genetic as well as physical interaction of Numb and α-Adaptin points to a role for endocytosis in the negative regulation of Notch signaling.

Curr Biol. 13:2003;778-783 Lgl mutants in the SOP lineage are shown not to have Numb localization defects during asymmetric cell division, in contrast to the neuroblast, where Lgl is required for basal targeting of Numb. Instead, Lgl function is required for Numb-mediated inhibition of Notch.

Dev Cell. 5:2003;139-148 In this study, both the ubiquitin ligase Neuralized and Numb are shown to be asymmetrically localized during sensory organ precursor cell mitosis. The authors show that Neuralized, once segregated to the daughter cell, alters Delta trafficking by increasing Delta internalization, which activates Notch signaling non-autonomously in its sister cell.

Dev Cell. 5:2003;231-243 Here, Sanpodo is shown to be the transmembrane protein that is required for Notch signaling in asymmetrically dividing cells. Numb is shown to be a negative regulator of Sanpodo's membrane localization, probably by the internalization of Sanpodo-containing vesicles.
