S03-01. Planar cell polarity: Linking developmental regulatory mechanisms to basic cellular machinery during morphogenesis
The planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling pathway is essential for a wide variety of celland tissue-level morphogenetic events in developing embryos. PCP research has been predominantly directed at the role played by a small number of core proteins, including Dishevelled and Frizzled. Much less is known about how these proteins signal downstream to direct the execution of such diverse cell behav...
متن کاملLinking cell-fate specification to planar polarity: determination of the R3/R4 photoreceptors is a prerequisite for the interpretation of the Frizzled mediated polarity signal
The adult eye of Drosophila is a highly ordered structure composed of about 800 ommatidia, each displaying precise polarity. The planar polarity is reflected in the mirror-symmetric arrangement of ommatidia relative to the dorso-ventral midline, the equator. This arrangement is generated when ommatidia rotate towards the equator and the photoreceptor R3 displaces R4 creating different chiral fo...
متن کاملTumor suppressors: Linking cell polarity and growth control
The Drosophila tumor suppressor genes scribble, discs large and lethal giant larvae appear to act in a common pathway. Mutations in any of these genes lead to loss of apical-basal cell polarity and overproliferation of epithelia, revealing a close connection between cytoarchitecture and growth control.
متن کاملApicobasal polarity and cell proliferation during development.
Cell polarization and cell division are two fundamental cellular processes. The mechanisms that establish and maintain cell polarity and the mechanisms by which cells progress through the cell cycle are now fairly well understood following decades of experimental work. There is also increasing evidence that the polarization state of a cell affects its proliferative properties. The challenge now...
متن کاملCoordination of Cell Polarity during Xenopus Gastrulation
Cell polarity is an essential feature of animal cells contributing to morphogenesis. During Xenopus gastrulation, it is known that chordamesoderm cells are polarized and intercalate each other allowing anterior-posterior elongation of the embryo proper by convergent extension (CE). Although it is well known that the cellular protrusions at both ends of polarized cells exert tractive force for i...
