Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Elys is a conserved protein that directs nuclear pore complex (NPC) assembly in mammalian cell lines and developing worms and zebrafish. Related studies in these systems indicate a role for Elys in DNA replication and repair. Intestinal epithelial progenitors of zebrafish elys mutants undergo apoptosis early in development. However, it is not known whether loss of Elys has a similar effect in...
