Abstract excerpt
Drosophila dorsal closure is a morphogenetic movement that involves flanking epidermal cells, assembling actomyosin cables, and migrating dorsally over the underlying amnioserosa to seal at the dorsal midline. Echinoid (Ed)-a cell adhesion molecule of adherens junctions (AJs)-participates in several developmental processes. The disappearance of Ed from the amnioserosa is required to define the epidermal leading...
