Journal Article
Wingen, A., Carrera, P., Ekaterini Psathaki, O., Voelzmann, A., Paululat, A., & Hoch, M. (2017). Debris buster is a Drosophila scavenger receptor essential for airway physiology. Developmental Biology, 430(1), 52-68. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbio.2017.08.018

Scavenger receptors class B (SR-B) are multifunctional transmembrane proteins, which in vertebrates participate in lipid transport, pathogen clearance, lysosomal delivery and intracellular sorting. Drosophila has 14 SR-B members whose functions are s... Read More about Debris buster is a Drosophila scavenger receptor essential for airway physiology.

Drosophila Short stop as a paradigm for the role and regulation of spectraplakins (2017)
Journal Article
Voelzmann, A., Liew, Y. T., Qu, Y., Hahn, I., Melero, C., Sánchez-Soriano, N., & Prokop, A. (2017). Drosophila Short stop as a paradigm for the role and regulation of spectraplakins. Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 69, 40-57. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.semcdb.2017.05.019

Spectraplakins are evolutionarily well conserved cytoskeletal linker molecules that are true members of three protein families: plakins, spectrins and Gas2-like proteins. Spectraplakin genes encode at least 7 characteristic functional domains which a... Read More about Drosophila Short stop as a paradigm for the role and regulation of spectraplakins.
