Abstract excerpt
Interactions between epithelial cells are mediated by adherens junctions that are dynamically regulated during development. Here we show that the turnover of β-catenin is increased at cell interfaces that are targeted for disassembly during Drosophila axis elongation. The Abl tyrosine kinase is concentrated at specific planar junctions and is necessary for polarized β-catenin localization and dynamics. abl mutant...
