Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the expanded gene act as hyperplastic tumor suppressors, interfere with cell competition and elevate Dpp signaling. Unlike Dpp overexpression, ex causes few patterning defects. Our data suggest that patterning effects are partly masked by antagonistic roles of other signaling pathways that are also activated. ex causes proliferation of cells in the posterior eye disc that are normally postmitotic. ex...
