Zygotic activity of the nullo locus is required to stabilize the actin-myosin network during cellularization in Drosophila.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Nov 1990

Simpson L, Wieschaus E

Abstract excerpt

Cellularization of the Drosophila embryo requires the establishment of a hexagonal network of actin and myosin filaments that are interconnected around the nuclei in the cortex of the syncytial blastoderm. This cytoskeletal network provides the framework and possibly the contractile force for the membrane invaginations that synchronously subdivide the syncytial embryo into individual cells. Zygotic expression of...
