Scaling of cytoskeletal organization with cell size in Drosophila.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Jun 2017

Spencer Alison K, Schaumberg Andrew J, Zallen Jennifer A

Abstract excerpt

Spatially organized macromolecular complexes are essential for cell and tissue function, but the mechanisms that organize micron-scale structures within cells are not well understood. Microtubule-based structures such as mitotic spindles scale with cell size, but less is known about the scaling of actin structures within cells. Actin-rich denticle precursors cover the ventral surface of the Drosophila embryo and...
