Drosophila filamin is required for follicle cell motility during oogenesis.

Developmental biology - 1 Aug 2003

Sokol Nicholas S, Cooley Lynn

Abstract excerpt

The Filamin family of actin binding proteins is required to maintain cell shape and promote cell locomotion. Using the Drosophila ovary, we provide a detailed description of Filamin-deficient cells during morphogenesis. Reduced expression of Filamin in follicle cells causes defects in the initial encapsulation of germline cysts and in the migration of border cells through the germline cyst. However, follicle cell...
