Septate junctions are required for ommatidial integrity and blood-eye barrier function in Drosophila.

Developmental biology - 15 May 2008

Banerjee Swati, Bainton Roland J, Mayer Nasima, Beckstead Robert, Bhat Manzoor A

Abstract excerpt

The anatomical organization of the Drosophila ommatidia is achieved by specification and contextual placement of photoreceptors, cone and pigment cells. The photoreceptors must be sealed from high ionic concentrations of the hemolymph by a barrier to allow phototransduction. In vertebrates, a blood-retinal barrier (BRB) is established by tight junctions (TJs) present in the retinal pigment epithelium and...
