Summary
Enables protein phosphatase 1 binding activity. Involved in asymmetric stem cell division; intestinal stem cell homeostasis; and stem cell fate determination. Located in early endosome. Orthologous to human ZFYVE16 (zinc finger FYVE-type containing 16) and ZFYVE9 (zinc finger FYVE-type containing 9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. upon phosphorylation of Sara, endosomes detach from the spindle during pIIa targeting.
    Title: Sara phosphorylation state controls the dispatch of endosomes from the central spindle during asymmetric division.
  2. Notch binds Uninflatable, and both traffic together through Sara endosomes, which is essential to direct asymmetric endosomes motility and Notch-dependent cell fate assignation.
    Title: Uninflatable and Notch control the targeting of Sara endosomes during asymmetric division.
  3. Sara itself contributes to the control of the intestinal stem cells asymmetric division.
    Title: Sara endosomes and the asymmetric division of intestinal stem cells.
  4. asymmetric targeting of Delta and Notch-containing Sara endosomes will increase Notch signalling in sensory organ precursor daughter cell, pIIa, and decrease it in pIIb

  5. PP1 binds Sara and negatively regulates Dpp signaling in Drosophila melanogaster.
    Title: PP1 binds Sara and negatively regulates Dpp signaling in Drosophila melanogaster.
  6. During mitosis, Sara endosomes associate with the spindle machinery to segregate into the two daughter cells, daughter cells thereby inherited equal amounts of signaling molecules and retained the Dpp signaling levels of the mother cell
