Abstract excerpt
In Drosophila, a tendon cell is selected from a group of equipotent precursors following its interaction with a muscle cell. This interaction results in elevated levels of the transcription factor Stripe in the future tendon cells. Here we show that the balance between two distinct forms of the RNA-binding protein How maintains low levels of Stripe at the precursor stage and high levels in the mature tendon. The...
