The PAR-3/PAR-6/atypical protein kinase C (aPKC) complex is the first to become asymmetrically localized, and it controls the localization of additional complexes functioning further downstream in the regulation of cell polarity [3-9]. The first component of the PAR-3/PAR-6/aPKC complex that is localized to the cortex is Bazooka/PAR-3 (Baz), a large scaffolding protein [10]. In most cell types analyzed, loss of Baz function leads to loss of cell polarity [6, 8, 11]. Here we present a structure-function analysis of Baz focusing on its subcellular localization and function in four different polarized Drosophila cell types: the embryonic ectodermal epidermis, the follicular epithelium, embryonic neuroblasts, and the oocyte. We show that the PDZ domains of Baz are dispensable for its correct localization, whereas a conserved region in the C-terminal part of Baz to which no function had been assigned so far is required and sufficient for membrane localization. This region binds to phosphoinositide membrane lipids and thus mediates cortical localization of Baz by direct interaction with the plasma membrane. Our findings reveal a mechanism for the coupling of plasma membrane polarity and cortical polarity."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.cub.2010.01.065"],["dc.identifier.isi","000276753100028"],["dc.identifier.pmid","20303268"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/20129"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Cell Press"],["dc.relation.issn","0960-9822"],["dc.title","Membrane Targeting of Bazooka/PAR-3 Is Mediated by Direct Binding to Phosphoinositide Lipids"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Epithelial cells, for example, possess an apical side facing a lumen or the outside environment and a basolateral side facing adjacent epithelial cells and the basement membrane. Neurons possess distinct axonal and dendritic compartments with specific functions in sending and receiving signals. Migrating cells form a leading edge that actively engages in pathfinding and cell-substrate attachment, and a trailing edge where such attachments are abandoned. In all of these cases, both the plasma membrane and the cytocortex directly underneath the plasma membrane show differences in their molecular composition and structural organization. In this chapter we will focus on a specific type of membrane lipids, the phosphoinositides, because in polarized cells they show a polarized distribution in the plasma membrane. They furthermore influence the molecular organization of the cytocortex by recruiting specific protein binding partners which are involved in the regulation of the cytoskeleton and in signal transduction cascades that control polarity, growth and cell migration."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1042/BSE0530015"],["dc.identifier.isi","000310713700002"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22928505"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/27498"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Portland Press Ltd"],["dc.publisher.place","London"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-1-85578-189-4"],["dc.relation.ispartof","CELL POLARITY AND CANCER"],["dc.relation.issn","0071-1365"],["dc.title","Phosphoinositide lipids and cell polarity: linking the plasma membrane to the cytocortex"],["dc.type","review"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Phosphorylation of Baz by PAR-1 and aPKC is required for its function in epithelia, but little is known about the dephosphorylation mechanisms that antagonize the activities of these kinases or about the relevance of Baz phosphorylation for NB polarity. We found that protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) binds to Baz via its structural A subunit. By using phospho-specific antibodies, we show that PP2A dephosphorylates; Baz at the conserved serine residue 1085 and thereby antagonizes the kinase activity of PAR-1. Loss of PP2A function leads to complete reversal of polarity in NBs, giving rise to an \"upside-down\" polarity phenotype. Overexpression of PAR-1 or Baz, or mutation of 14-3-3 proteins that bind phosphorylated Baz, causes essentially the same phenotype, indicating that the balance of PAR-1 and PP2A effects on Baz phosphorylation determines NIB polarity."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Deutsche Forschungsgemenschaft [SFB 590, TP A2, WO 584/4-1, 4-2]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.devcel.2009.04.011"],["dc.identifier.isi","000267203700016"],["dc.identifier.pmid","19531360"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/16484"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Cell Press"],["dc.relation.issn","1534-5807"],["dc.title","PP2A Antagonizes Phosphorylation of Bazooka by PAR-1 to Control Apical-Basal Polarity in Dividing Embryonic Neuroblasts"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
