What is Drosophila S6 Kinase: A Regulator of Cell Size about?
Cell proliferation requires cell growth; that is, cells only divide after they reach a critical size. However, the mechanisms by which cells grow and maintain their appropriate size have remained elusive. __Drosophila__ deficient in the __S6 kinase__ gene ( __dS6K__ ) exhibited an extreme delay in development and a severe reduction in body size. These flies had smaller cells rather than fewer cells. The effect was cell-autonomous, displayed throughout larval development, and distinct from that of ribosomal protein mutants ( __Minutes__ ). Thus, the __dS6K__ gene product regulates cell size in a cell-autonomous manner without impinging on cell number.
