Abstract excerpt
Notch and EGFR signaling pathways play important roles in photoreceptor differentiation during Drosophila eye development. Notch signaling induces Enhancer of Split (E(spl)) proteins to repress atonal (ato) expression and restrict R8 photoreceptor cell fate. The R8 precursors express rhomboid (rho), which is required for the release of active EGFR ligand to activate EGFR signaling in surrounding cells for the...
