Abstract excerpt
forked mutations affect bristle development in Drosophila pupae, resulting in short, thick, gnarled bristles in the adult. The forked proteins are components of 200-300-microm-long actin fiber bundles that are present transiently during pupal development [Petersen et al., 1994: Genetics 136:173-182]. These bundles are composed of segments of 3-10 microm long, and forked protein is localized along the actin fiber...
