SMA-1 spectrin has essential roles in epithelial cell sheet morphogenesis in C. elegans.

Developmental biology - 1 Jul 2005

Praitis Vida, Ciccone Emily, Austin Judith

Abstract excerpt

During Caenorhabditis elegans development, the embryo acquires its vermiform shape due to changes in the shape of epithelial cells, a process that requires an apically localized actin cytoskeleton. We show that SMA-1, an ortholog of beta(H)-spectrin required for normal morphogenesis, localizes to...
