F-actin bundles in Drosophila bristles are assembled from modules composed of short filaments.

The Journal of cell biology - 1 Dec 1996

Tilney L G, Connelly P, Smith S, Guild G M

Abstract excerpt

The actin bundles in Drosophila bristles run the length of the bristle cell and are accordingly 65 microns (microchaetes) or 400 microns (macrochaetes) in length, depending on the bristle type. Shortly after completion of bristle elongation in pupae, the actin bundles break down as the bristle surface becomes chitinized. The bundles break down in a bizarre way; it is as if each bundle is sawed transversely into...
