Common and distinct genetic properties of ESCRT-II components in Drosophila.
BACKGROUND:Genetic studies in yeast have identified class E vps genes that form the ESCRT complexes required for protein sorting at the early endosome.In Drosophila, mutations of the ESCRT-II Hiking Boots component vps25 cause endosomal defects leading to accumulation of Notch protein and increased Notch pathway activity.These endosomal and signali
