Abstract excerpt
The formation and maintenance of cell polarity is essential for epithelial morphogenesis. Dpatj (Drosophila homolog of mammalian Patj) is a multi-PDZ domain protein that localizes to the apical cell membrane and forms a protein complex with cell polarity proteins, Crumbs (Crb) and Stardust (Sdt). Whereas Crb and Sdt are known to be required for the organization of adherens junctions (AJs) and rhabdomeres in...
