Mutation of TweedleD, a member of an unconventional cuticle protein family, alters body shape in Drosophila.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 7 Nov 2006

Abstract excerpt

Body shape determination represents a critical aspect of morphogenesis. In the course of investigating body shape regulation in Drosophila, we have identified a dominant mutation, TweedleD(1) (TwdlD(1)), that alters overall dimensions at the larval and pupal stages. Characterization of the affect...
