A genome-scale shRNA resource for transgenic RNAi in Drosophila
Existing transgenic RNAi resources in Drosophila melanogaster based on long double-stranded hairpin RNAs are powerful tools for functional studies, but they are ineffective in gene knockdown during oogenesis, an important model system for the study of many biological questions. We show that shRNAs, modeled on an endogenous microRNA, are extremely effective at silencing gene expression during oogenesis. We also describe our progress toward building a genome-wide shRNA resource. © 2011 Nature America, Inc. All rights reserved

ATP and MO25 alpha regulate the conformational state of the STRAD alpha pseudokinase and activation of the LKB1 tumour suppressor
The conformation of the pseudokinase STRADα, which is regulated by binding to ATP and to the scaffolding protein MO25α, is key to the activiation of the LKB1 tumor suppressor complex
