Drosophila miniature and dusky encode ZP proteins required for cytoskeletal reorganisation during wing morphogenesis.

Journal of cell science - 1 Apr 2003

Roch Fernando, Alonso Claudio R, Akam Michael

Abstract excerpt

We have characterised the function of two Drosophila genes, miniature and dusky, that are required for the morphological reorganisation of the apical membrane during wing epidermis differentiation. These genes encode transmembrane proteins containing a ZP (zona pellucida) domain and are homologous to several vertebrate and invertebrate apical matrix components. miniature and dusky are only expressed in tissues...
