1.
Jiao M, Wu D, Wei Q
Mol Biol Cell . 2018 Jan; 29(5):643-656. PMID: 29321250
Blebs are involved in various biological processes such as cell migration, cytokinesis, and apoptosis. While the expansion of blebs is largely an intracellular pressure-driven process, the retraction of blebs is...

Wu D, Zhu X, Jimenez-Cowell K, Mold A, Sollecito C, Lombana N, et al.
Exp Cell Res . 2015 Feb; 333(1):80-92. PMID: 25704760
Pitx2 is a bicoid-related homeobox transcription factor implicated in regulating left-right patterning and organogenesis. However, only a limited number of Pitx2 downstream target genes have been identified and characterized. Here...

Wu D, Jiao M, Zu S, Sollecito C, Jimenez-Cowell K, Mold A, et al.
J Biol Chem . 2014 Oct; 289(49):34033-48. PMID: 25336641
We have reported previously that nonmuscle myosin II-interacting guanine nucleotide exchange factor (MyoGEF) plays an important role in the regulation of cell migration and cytokinesis. Like many other guanine nucleotide...

Recuenco M, Ohmori T, Tanigawa S, Taguchi A, Fujimura S, Conti M, et al.
J Am Soc Nephrol . 2014 Aug; 26(5):1081-91. PMID: 25168025
The kidney develops from reciprocal interactions between the metanephric mesenchyme and ureteric bud. The mesenchyme transforms into epithelia and forms complicated nephron structures, whereas the ureteric bud extends its pre-existing...

Wu D, Asiedu M, Matsumura F, Wei Q
J Biol Chem . 2014 Feb; 289(10):7142-7150. PMID: 24482237
We previously reported that phosphorylation of myosin II-interacting guanine nucleotide exchange factor (MyoGEF) by polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) promotes the localization of MyoGEF to the central spindle and increases MyoGEF...

Yang F, Wei Q, Adelstein R, Wang P
Dev Biol . 2012 Jul; 369(2):356-61. PMID: 22820068
Cytokinesis, the final stage of cell division, bisects the cytoplasm into two daughter cells. In mitotic cells, this process depends on the activity of non-muscle myosin II (NMII), a family...

Pal D, Wu D, Haruta A, Matsumura F, Wei Q
Cell Cycle . 2010 Oct; 9(20):4117-29. PMID: 20962590
The formation of the central spindle (or the spindle midzone) is essential for cytokinesis in animal cells. In this study, we report that coiled-coil domain-containing protein 69 (CCDC69) is implicated...

Wu D, Haruta A, Wei Q
J Biol Chem . 2010 Jul; 285(37):28643-50. PMID: 20634288
GIPC1/synectin, a single PDZ domain-containing protein, binds to numerous proteins and is involved in multiple biological processes, including cell migration. We reported previously that MyoGEF, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor,...

Ma X, Takeda K, Singh A, Yu Z, Zerfas P, Blount A, et al.
Circ Res . 2009 Oct; 105(11):1102-9. PMID: 19815823
Rationale: Germline ablation of the cytoskeletal protein nonmuscle myosin II (NMII)-B results in embryonic lethality, with defects in both the brain and heart. Tissue-specific ablation of NMII-B by a Cre...

Asiedu M, Wu D, Matsumura F, Wei Q
Mol Biol Cell . 2009 Jan; 20(5):1428-40. PMID: 19129481
Cooperative communications between the central spindle and the contractile ring are critical for the spatial and temporal regulation of cytokinesis. Here we report that MyoGEF, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor...
