Liprin-alpha is required for photoreceptor target selection in Drosophila.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 1 Aug 2006

Choe Kwang-Min, Prakash Saurabh, Bright Ali, Clandinin Thomas R

Abstract excerpt

Classical cadherin-mediated interactions between axons and dendrites are critical to target selection and synapse assembly. However, the molecular mechanisms by which these interactions are controlled are incompletely understood. In the Drosophila visual system, N-cadherin is required in both photoreceptor (R cell) axons and their targets to mediate stabilizing interactions required for R cell target selection....
