Capulet and Slingshot share overlapping functions during Drosophila eye morphogenesis.

Journal of biomedical science - 30 Apr 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: CAP/Capulet (Capt), Slingshot (Ssh) and Cofilin/Twinstar (Tsr) are actin-binding proteins that restrict actin polymerization. Previously, it was shown that low resolution analyses of loss-of-function mutations in capt, ssh and tsr all show ectopic F-actin accumulation in various Drosophila tissues. In contrast, RNAi depletion of capt, tsr and ssh in Drosophila S2 cells all affect actin-based lamella...
