Distinct sites in E-cadherin regulate different steps in Drosophila tracheal tube fusion.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Dec 2003

Abstract excerpt

We have investigated how E-cadherin controls the elaboration of adherens junction associated cytoskeletal structures crucial for assembling tubular networks. During Drosophila development, tracheal branches are joined at branch tips through lumens that traverse doughnut-shaped fusion cells. Fusion cells form E-cadherin contacts associated with a track that contains F-actin, microtubules, and Shot, a plakin that...
