Abstract

In Drosophila melanogasler,the wings apart-like (wapl) gene encodes a protein that regulates heterochromatin structure. Human wapl gene is human homolognue of wapl,they have same function. HWAPL is a cohesion-binding protein that affect chromosomal segregation. It has a character of oncoproteins and linked to cervical carcinogenesis and tumor progression.
