Serine/threonine-protein kinase polo; May play a role in regulating both nuclear and cytoplasmic aspects of the mitotic cycle. Regulates localization of the augmin complex during mitosis by ensuring its location on mitotic spindles. Also regulates augmin complex localization during male meiosis by promoting its placement at kinetochores while preventing its association with spindle microtubules ; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CDC5/Polo subfamily.

Piccolo (pic) encodes the Ddb1 protein, which functions to recruit substrate receptors to Cul4-based E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, which catalyze the ubiquitylation and subsequent destruction of proteins that function in cell growth and proliferation as well as transcription, replication and repair of the genome.

Serine/threonine-protein kinase PLK4; Serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays a central role in centriole duplication. Able to trigger procentriole formation on the surface of the mother centriole cylinder, using mother centriole as a platform, leading to the recruitment of centriole biogenesis proteins such as Sas-6. When overexpressed, it is able to induce centrosome amplification through the simultaneous generation of multiple procentrioles adjoining each parental centriole during S phase. Centrosome amplification following overexpression can initiate tumorigenesis, highlighting [...]

NFAT nuclear factor, isoform B; DNA-binding transcription factor activity; chromatin binding; transcription factor binding; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; negative regulation of synaptic vesicle exocytosis; response to salt stress.

Serine/threonine-protein kinase tricorner; Has an important role, with fry, in controlling cell structure and proliferation of a variety of polarized outgrowths including epidermal hairs, bristles, arista laterals, and dendrites. Affects cellular morphogenesis by regulating the expression of target genes that encode cytoskeleton-interacting proteins and not via the direct modification of the cytoskeleton. Maintains the integrity of epidermal hairs and is an essential component of the signaling pathway regulating dendritic branching of sensory neurons. Belongs to the protein kinase supe [...]

Myocardin-related transcription factor (Mrtf) encodes a protein that binds to the product of bs, and likely other transcription factors, to enhance downstream gene activation. The activity of the product of Mrtf is regulated by free actin levels. It contributes to tracheal branching, border cell migration, and other cell stretching and invasive migration processes during development.

Supernumerary limbs (slmb) encodes an essential, conserved F-box protein and a component of the SCF (Skp/Cullin/F-box) E3 ubiquitin-ligase, providing substrate specificity to the SCF. It negatively regulates multiple signaling pathways and cellular processes by promoting the proteasome-mediated degradation or cleavage of its targets, including the products of arm and ci (Wg and Hh signaling), SAK, per and Cap-H2.

Snf5-related 1 (Snr1) encodes a core component of the ATP-dependent SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex (Brahma complex). It functions as a tumor suppressor and is required for maintaining normal endosomal trafficking-mediated signaling cascades; Belongs to the SNF5 family.

Hsp90 co-chaperone Cdc37; Co-chaperone that binds to numerous kinases and promotes their interaction with the Hsp90 complex, resulting in stabilization and promotion of their activity. Required for cytokinesis and chromosome segregation in mitosis and male meiosis. Belongs to the CDC37 family.
