Abstract excerpt
Frizzled (Fz) signaling regulates cell polarity in both vertebrates and invertebrates. In Drosophila, Fz orients the asymmetric division of the sensory organ precursor cell (pI) along the antero-posterior axis of the notum. Planar polarization involves a remodeling of the apical-basal polarity of the pI cell. The Discs-large (Dlg) and Partner of Inscuteable (Pins) proteins accumulate at the anterior cortex, while...
