The diverse roles of Rac signaling in tumorigenesis

NA Mack, HJ Whalley, S Castillo-Lluva, A Malliri - Cell cycle, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
Rac is a member of the Rho family of small GTPases, which act as molecular switches to
control a wide array of cellular functions. In particular, Rac signaling has been implicated in the …

The interdependence of the Rho GTPases and apicobasal cell polarity

NA Mack, M Georgiou - Small GTPases, 2014 - Taylor & Francis
Signaling via the Rho GTPases provides crucial regulation of numerous cell polarization
events, including apicobasal (AB) polarity, polarized cell migration, polarized cell division and …

[PDF][PDF] HUWE1 ubiquitylates and degrades the RAC activator TIAM1 promoting cell-cell adhesion disassembly, migration, and invasion

L Vaughan, CT Tan, A Chapman, D Nonaka, NA Mack… - Cell reports, 2015 - cell.com
The E3 ubiquitin ligase HUWE1, deregulated in carcinoma, has been implicated in tumor
formation. Here, we uncover a role for HUWE1 in cell migration and invasion through …

β2-syntrophin and Par-3 promote an apicobasal Rac activity gradient at cell–cell junctions by differentially regulating Tiam1 activity

NA Mack, AP Porter, HJ Whalley, JP Schwarz… - Nature cell …, 2012 - nature.com
Although Rac and its activator Tiam1 are known to stimulate cell–cell adhesion, the mechanisms
regulating their activity in cell–cell junction formation are poorly understood. Here, we …

The interaction between CASK and the tumour suppressor Dlg1 regulates mitotic spindle orientation in mammalian epithelia

AP Porter, GRM White, NA Mack… - Journal of cell …, 2019 - journals.biologists.com
Oriented cell divisions are important for the formation of normal epithelial structures. Dlg1, a
tumour suppressor, is required for mitotic spindle orientation in Drosophila epithelia and …

[HTML][HTML] An apicobasal gradient of Rac activity determines protrusion form and position

A Couto, NA Mack, L Favia, M Georgiou - Nature Communications, 2017 - nature.com
Each cell within a polarized epithelial sheet must align and correctly position a wide range
of subcellular structures, including actin-based dynamic protrusions. Using in vivo inducible …

[HTML][HTML] A genetic analysis of tumor progression in Drosophila identifies the cohesin complex as a suppressor of individual and collective cell invasion

BC Coutiño, ZE Cornhill, A Couto, NA Mack, AD Rusu… - IScience, 2020 - Elsevier
Metastasis is the leading cause of death for patients with cancer. Consequently it is
imperative that we improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie …

Interdependence in Southern Africa: an examination of the relations between Zimbabwe and South Africa

ND Mack - 1991 - dr.library.brocku.ca
Most research on southern Africa focuses on the total dependency of the region's states--Angola,
Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, zambia and Zimbabwe--upon …

The interaction between the tumour suppressor Dlg1 and the MAGUK protein CASK is required for oriented cell division in mammalian epithelia

AP Porter, G White, NA Mack, A Malliri - bioRxiv, 2018 - biorxiv.org
Oriented cell divisions are important for the formation of normal epithelial structures. Dlg1, a
tumour suppressor, is required for oriented cell division in Drosophila epithelia and chick …

Tau protein is essential for stress-induced brain pathology

…, N Kokras, B Bedenk, N Mack… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
Exposure to chronic stress is frequently accompanied by cognitive and affective disorders in
association with neurostructural adaptations. Chronic stress was previously shown to trigger …
