The Bicaudal-D/Egalitarian complex defines the specificity of cargo transport by Dynein.

F. C. Baker, W. Lu, M. Lakonishok, H. Neiswender, R. Veeranan-Karmegam, P. Allen, S. Badieyan, M. A. Cianfrocco, V. Gelfand, G. B. Gonsalvez

This study identifies BicD cargo interactome and shows that Egl is required for BicD to link cargos to Dynein, with a SMA mutation affecting cargo transport and mobility.

Self-organized intracellular twisters

S. Dutta, R. Farhadifar, W. Lu, G. kabacaoglu, R. Blackwell, D. B. Stein, M. Lakonishok, V. I. Gelfand, S. Shvartsman, M. Shelley

The paper studies fluid flows in Drosophila oocytes, showing the emergence of cell-spanning vortices through hydrodynamic interactions of microtubules and molecular motors.

Drosophila oocyte specification is maintained by the dynamic duo of microtubule polymerase Mini spindles/XMAP215 and dynein

W. Lu, M. Lakonishok, V. I. Gelfand

This study identifies Msps and dynein as a positive feedback loop that enhances dynein-dependent transport and determines oocyte fate in Drosophila.

A novel mechanism of bulk cytoplasmic transport by cortical dynein in Drosophila ovary

W. Lu, M. Lakonishok, A. S. Serpinskaya, V. I. Gelfand

The paper shows cortical dynein in Drosophila nurse cells moves microtubules to transport cytoplasm to the oocyte, revealing a novel mechanism for bulk cytoplasmic transport.

Competition between kinesin-1 and myosin-V define Drosophila posterior determination

W. Lu, M. Lakonishok, R. Liu, N. Billington, A. Rich, M. Glotzer, J. R. Sellers, V. I. Gelfand

This study shows that competition between kinesin-1 and myosin-V, influenced by cortical microtubule density, determines posterior localization of osk mRNA in Drosophila oocytes.
