Abstract excerpt
The asymmetric organization of epithelial cells is a basic counter to cellular proliferation. However, the mechanisms whereby pro-growth pathways are modulated by intracellular factors that control cell shape are not well understood. This study demonstrates that the adaptor protein Amot, in addition to its established role in regulating cellular asymmetry, also promotes extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and...
