Gupton Lab paper featured as cover article of MBoC

September 6, 2017
The axon guidance cue netrin-1 and its receptor DCC promote axon branching in developing cortical neurons. In this study, we detail a novel molecular mechanism by which the brain-enriched E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM9 orchestrates multimerization of DCC, requisite activation of FAK and Src family kinases, and increases in exocytic vesicle...

Collaboration between Zylka, Major, and Emanuele labs identifies link between autism gene and Wnt signaling

June 5, 2017
The labs of Mark Zylka, Ben Major, both in the Dept. of Cell Biology and Physiology, and Mike Emanuele identified a link between the E3 ubiquitin ligase Ube3a, the proteasome, and Wnt signaling. This collaboration harnessed the Zylka labs expertise at studying an autism-linked Ube3a mutation, the Major labs expertise...
