Drosophila KAP interacts with the kinesin II motor subunit KLP64D to assemble chordotonal sensory cilia, but not sperm tails.
Ritu Sarpal,Sokol V. Todi,Elena Sivan-Loukianova,Seema Shirolikar,Narayan Subramanian,Elizabeth C. Raff,James W. Erickson,Krishanu Ray,Daniel F. Eberl +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that mutations in the Drosophila KAP gene could eliminate the sensory cilia as well as the sound-evoked potentials of Johnston's organ (JO) neurons and both the DmKap and the Klp64D mutant adults produce vigorously motile sperm with normal axonemes.

malvolio, the Drosophila homologue of mouse NRAMP-1 (Bcg), is expressed in macrophages and in the nervous system and is required for normal taste behaviour.
TL;DR: It is shown that loss‐of‐function as well as insertional mutants in mvl display defects in taste behaviour with no alterations in the physiology of the sensory neurons.

A marine natural product inhibitor of kinesin motors.
Roman Sakowicz,Michael S. Berdelis,Krishanu Ray,Christine L. Blackburn,Cordula Hopmann,D. John Faulkner,Lawrence S.B. Goldstein +6 more
TL;DR: Members of the kinesin superfamily of motor proteins are essential for mitotic and meiotic spindle organization, chromosome segregation, organelle and vesicle transport, and many other processes that require microtubule-based transport.

Cellular events during development of the olfactory sense organs in Drosophila melanogaster.
Krishanu Ray,Veronica Rodrigues +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the selection of an FC is the first step in olfactory sense organ development, and novel aspects of sensory development in Drosophila are revealed.

Development of the Drosophila olfactory sense organs utilizes cell-cell interactions as well as lineage
TL;DR: The mechanisms underlying the development of the olfactory sense organs on the third segment of the antenna of Drosophila are examined and the existence of additional proneural genes for the selection of sensilla trichoidea and sensilla basiconica is predicted.
