摘要
It has recently become evident that basic mechanisms for the establishment of cell polarity are conserved between epithelial and nonepithelial systems. The vast catalogue of known gene products involved in various aspects of invertebrate and yeast cell polarity provides a repertoire of candidate proteins that can be tested for their roles in the organization of mammalian epithelia. Here, we describe cell biological approaches to study the development and maintenance of cell polarity in Mardin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, an established mammalian model cell line for simple epithelia. The assays allowed us to characterize the Caenorhabditis elegans PAR-1 homologue EMK1 as a novel regulator of apical surface formation in epithelial cells. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science (USA).
