PP2A-Tws dephosphorylates Map205, is required for Polo localization to microtubules and promotes cytokinesis in Drosophila.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMitosis and cytokinesis are regulated by reversible phosphorylation events controlled by kinases and phosphatases. Drosophila Polo kinase, like its human ortholog PLK1, plays several roles in this process. Multiple mechanisms contribute to regulate Polo/PLK1 activity, localization and interactions. We previously showed that the microtubule-associated protein Map205 interacts with Polo during interphase and cytokinesis, inhibiting and sequestering Polo on microtubules. During mitosis, phosphorylation of Map205 at a Cyclin-Dependent Kinase site allows Polo to dissociate from Map205, when Polo must fulfill its mitotic functions. How the Polo/Map205 interaction is restored during mitotic exit remained unknown.
resultsHere we show that PP2A-Tws/B55 is required to dephosphorylate Map205, and enables the Map205-dependent localization of Polo to microtubules during cytokinesis. In addition, we show that PP2A-Tws is required for spindle function during cytokinesis, consistent with the essential role of Polo in this process.
conclusionsThese findings complement previous studies to provide an understanding of the full cycle of Polo regulation by Map205, kinases and phosphatases. Our findings have implications for the wider network of cell cycle regulatory circuitry.
