Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila position-specific (PS) antigens are homologues of the vertebrate integrins, a family of transmembrane proteins that function in cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion. The common beta subunit of PS integrins (PS beta) is encoded by the lethal(l)myospheroid gene (mys) and is required du...
