Coordination of planar cell polarity pathways through Spiny-legs.
Morphogenesis and physiology of tissues and organs requires planar cell polarity (PCP) systems that orient and coordinate cells and their behaviors, but the relationship between PCP systems has been controversial. We have characterized how the Frizzled and Dachsous-Fat PCP systems are connected through the Spiny-legs isoform of the Prickle-Spiny-legs locus. Two different components of the Dachs...
متن کاملDachsous-dependent asymmetric localization of spiny-legs determines planar cell polarity orientation in Drosophila.
In Drosophila, planar cell polarity (PCP) molecules such as Dachsous (Ds) may function as global directional cues directing the asymmetrical localization of PCP core proteins such as Frizzled (Fz). However, the relationship between Ds asymmetry and Fz localization in the eye is opposite to that in the wing, thereby causing controversy regarding how these two systems are connected. Here, we show...
متن کاملCell division orientation and planar cell polarity pathways.
The orientation of cell division has a crucial role in early embryo body plan specification, axis determination and cell fate diversity generation, as well as in the morphogenesis of tissues and organs. In many instances, cell division orientation is regulated by the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathways: the Wnt/Frizzled non-canonical pathway or the Fat/Dachsous/Four-jointed pathway. Firstly, us...
متن کاملThe cell biology of planar cell polarity
Planar cell polarity (PCP) refers to the coordinated alignment of cell polarity across the tissue plane. Key to the establishment of PCP is asymmetric partitioning of cortical PCP components and intercellular communication to coordinate polarity between neighboring cells. Recent progress has been made toward understanding how protein transport, endocytosis, and intercellular interactions contri...
متن کاملPlanar cell polarity in Drosophila.
In all multicellular organisms, epithelial cells are not only polarized along the apical-basal axis, but also within the epithelial plane, giving cells a sense of direction. Planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling regulates establishment of polarity within the plane of an epithelium. The outcomes of PCP signaling are diverse and include the determination of cell fates, the generation of asymmetric...
