Drosophila Myosin II, Zipper, is essential for ommatidial rotation.

Developmental biology - 15 Oct 2007

Fiehler Ryan W, Wolff Tanya

Abstract excerpt

The adult Drosophila retina is a highly polarized epithelium derived from a precursor tissue that is initially symmetric across its dorsoventral axis. Specialized 90 degrees rotational movements of subsets of cells, the ommatidial precursors, establish mirror symmetry in the retinal epithelium. Myosin II, or Zipper (Zip), a motor protein, regulates the rate at which ommatidia rotate: in zip mutants, the rate of...
