Masquerade: a novel secreted serine protease-like molecule is required for somatic muscle attachment in the Drosophila embryo.

Genes & development - 15 Jan 1995

Murugasu-Oei B, Rodrigues V, Yang X, Chia W

Abstract excerpt

Diverse developmental processes, such as neuronal growth cone migration and cell shape changes, are mediated by the interactions of cells with the extracellular matrix. We describe here a secreted molecule encoded by the Drosophila masquerade (mas) gene. Total loss of mas function causes defective muscle attachment. This mutant phenotype suggests that mas normally acts to stabilize cell-matrix interaction and...
