Thorax closure in Drosophila: involvement of Fos and the JNK pathway.
Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Sept 1999
Zeitlinger J, Bohmann D
Abstract excerpt
Dorsal closure, a morphogenetic movement during Drosophila embryogenesis, is controlled by the Drosophila JNK pathway, D-Fos and the phosphatase Puckered (Puc). To identify principles of epithelial closure processes, we studied another cell sheet movement that we term thorax closure, the joining of the parts of the wing imaginal discs which give rise to the adult thorax during metamorphosis. In thorax closure a...
