adducinlike
English
Etymology
adducin + like
Adjective
adducinlike (comparative more adducinlike, superlative most adducinlike)
- Pertaining to the protein produced by the hu-li tai shao gene (hts) in Drosophila, which serves a role similar to that of adducin.
- 2000, The Centrosome in Cell Replication and Early Development, page 388:
- The spectrosome and the fusome contain membrane cytoskeletal proteins such as α- spectrin, β-spectrin, the adducinlike product of the hu-li tai shao (hts) gene, and ankyrin (de Cuevas et al., 1997; McKearin, 1997).
- 2004, Daryl S. Henderson, Drosophila Cytogenetics Protocols, page 95:
- Cystoblasts/cystocytes also divide asymmetrically, and in doing so, the spectrosome evolves into a branched fusome in the 16-cell cyst (5,37), accumulating proteins like Bam, ankyrin, α- and β-spectrins, the adducinlike product of the hu-li tai shao gene (HtsF), dynein (Dhc64C), and Cyclin A (5,35,36).
