A screen to identify Drosophila genes required for integrin-mediated adhesion.

Genetics - 1 Oct 1998

Walsh E P, Brown N H

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila integrins have essential adhesive roles during development, including adhesion between the two wing surfaces. Most position-specific integrin mutations cause lethality, and clones of homozygous mutant cells in the wing do not adhere to the apposing surface, causing blisters. We have us...
