Interactions between Fat and Dachsous and the regulation of planar cell polarity in the Drosophila wing.
It was recently suggested that a proximal to distal gradient of the protocadherin Dachsous (Ds) acts as a cue for planar cell polarity (PCP) in the Drosophila wing, orienting cell-cell interactions by inhibiting the activity of the protocadherin Fat (Ft). This Ft-Ds signaling model is based on mutant loss-of-function phenotypes, leaving open the question of whether Ds is instructive or permissi...
متن کاملCell biology of planar polarity transmission in the Drosophila wing
The coordination of epithelial planar polarization is a critical step in the formation of well-ordered tissues. The process has been extensively studied in Drosophila, where genetic analysis has identified a set of "tissue polarity" genes that serve to coordinate planar polarity of cells in the developing wings, bristles and eyes. In the last several years, it has emerged that six of these gene...
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...
متن کاملCell Flow Reorients the Axis of Planar Polarity in the Wing Epithelium of Drosophila
Planar cell polarity (PCP) proteins form polarized cortical domains that govern polarity of external structures such as hairs and cilia in both vertebrate and invertebrate epithelia. The mechanisms that globally orient planar polarity are not understood, and are investigated here in the Drosophila wing using a combination of experiment and theory. Planar polarity arises during growth and PCP do...
متن کاملThe Drosophila planar polarity proteins inturned and multiple wing hairs interact physically and function together.
The conserved frizzled (fz) pathway regulates planar cell polarity in both vertebrate and invertebrate animals. This pathway has been most intensively studied in the wing of Drosophila, where the proteins encoded by pathway genes all accumulate asymmetrically. Upstream members of the pathway accumulate on the proximal, distal, or both cell edges in the vicinity of the adherens junction. More do...
