Formin3 is required for assembly of the F-actin structure that mediates tracheal fusion in Drosophila.

Developmental biology - 15 Oct 2004

Abstract excerpt

During tracheal development in Drosophila, some branches join to form a continuous luminal network. Specialized cells at the branch tip, called fusion cells, extend filopodia to make contact and become doughnut shaped to allow passage of the lumen. These morphogenetic processes accompany the high...
