Roles of type I myosins in Drosophila handedness.

Fly - 1 Jan 2000

Taniguchi Kiichiro, Hozumi Shunya, Maeda Reo, Okumura Takashi, Matsuno Kenji

Abstract excerpt

Although bilateral animals, including Drosophila, appear to have left-right (LR) symmetry from the outside, their internal organs often show directional and stereotypical LR asymmetry. The mechanisms by which the LR axis is established in Drosophila have not been studied well. We showed that two type I Myosin proteins play crucial roles in the manifestation of Drosophila handedness. Mutants of Myosin31DF...
