On the other hand, wts overexpression in lola 5D2 MARCM clones did not affect the increased clone size ( Figure 7—figure supplement 2A–D).

I sought agency representation, and pretty much every major New York agency said no or wouldn't meet with me.G-H’) Representative images of Drosophila adult midguts of esg ts>wts RNAi, Dref RNAi ( G-G’) and esg ts>wts RNAi, SkpA RNAi (H-H’) immunostained with Arm and Pros (red). On the other hand, lola overexpression did not rescue the elevated GFP + and p-H3 + cell number induced by yki overexpression ( Figure 7—figure supplement 3A–E), reinforcing the notion that Lola restricts ISC proliferation in an Yki-independent manner. Currently, he is a quarterfinalist in Men's Health's Ultimate Guy contest and is ahead in popular votes by a margin of nearly 50,000. Furthermore, Fg-Lola protein half-life in the presence or absence of Myc-Wts was monitored using the nascent protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX). I'm always evolving, but meeting the president and being invited to speak at the White House was a huge honor.

Some asshole told me that I would never be happy because my life is all about 'becoming'—but what are your options as a transgender person in transition? I have an immense responsibility to use my platform to improve the lives of trans women, especially trans women of color. D–E’’’) Representative images of Drosophila adult midguts containing GFP positive MARCM clones of control ( D–D’’’) and the hypomorphic allele lola 5D2 ( E–E’’’).B) Collected cell extracts from S2 cells co-transfected with plasmids expressing Fg-Lola (1 μg) and Myc-Wts (0. I first got into modeling when Playboy contacted me to do a special feature about my story before it was public. H-I’’) Representative images of adult midguts of MyoIA-Gal4; tubGal80 ts ( MyoIA ts) (H-H’’) and MyoIA ts>lola RNAi ( I-I’’) immunostained with Caspase-3 (red), and Arm (blue). What is the most important thing you hope to accomplish as an activist for the transgender community? Downregulation of Dref or SkpA expression in gut precursors expressing either wts or lola RNAi rescues the enhanced ISC proliferation, providing the genetic evidence that Lola regulates ISC proliferation vis suppressing Dref and SkpA expression.

Exceptions have been reported, however, that activated LATS1/2 (Wts in mammals) is accumulated in the nucleus, where it phosphorylates YAP (Yki in mammals) ( Li et al. Based on the DEG heatmap and hierarchical cluster analysis, a high degree of similarity was detected between samples from wts and lola RNAi, suggesting strong functional correlation between Wts and Lola, but not Yki and Lola, in regulating midgut homeostasis. The experiment using esg-Gal4/UAS-GFP; tubGal80 ts and MyoIA-Gal4/UAS-GFP; tubGal80 ts were crossed and cultured at 18°C to restrict Gal4 activity. B-E) Representative images of Drosophila adult midguts of esg-Gal4; tubGal80 ts ( esg ts) ( B), esg ts>wts RNAi-2 ( C), esg ts>yki RNAi ( D), and esg ts>yki RNAi; wts RNAi-2 ( E). Lola ∆ZF1, ∆ZF2, and ∆ZF12 are truncated lola variants deleting 1435–1498 bp, 1525–1596 bp, and 1435–1596 bp, respectively.

As an evolutionarily conserved pathway, Hippo signaling controls organ size by balancing cell proliferation and death ( Yin and Zhang, 2011). The full length lola DNA fragment ( lola-RD: 2247 bp) was amplified from Drosophila cDNA (BDGP DGC clone LD28033) by PCR. Co-IP analysis of S2 cells expressing Myc-Wts using the anti-Lola antibody for IP pulled down Myc-Wts, further demonstrating that Wts interacts with endogenous Lola ( Figure 6F). Sequencing data have been deposited in GEO under accession code {"type":"entrez-geo","attrs":{"text":"GSE136999","term_id":"136999"}}GSE136999, and SRA under accession code SRP220236.

Based on these findings, it is possible that Wts-Lola interaction modulates the interaction between Lola and other LRR or WD40-containing proteins, hence preventing Lola ubiquitination and degradation by the UPS system.C) Collected cell extracts from S2 cells transfected with plasmids expressing Fg-Lola, and Myc-Wts, Myc-Wts NLS or Myc-Wts NES were analyzed by Western blot with the indicated antibodies.
