Coupling planar cell polarity signaling to morphogenesis.
Epithelial cells and other groups of cells acquire a polarity orthogonal to their apical-basal axes, referred to as Planar Cell Polarity (PCP). The process by which these cells become polarized requires a signaling pathway using Frizzled as a receptor. Responding cells sense cues from their environment that provide directional information, and they translate this information into cellular asymm...
متن کاملPlanar Polarity and Tissue Morphogenesis
Planar polarity is a global, tissue-level phenomenon that coordinates cell behavior in a two-dimensional plane. The Frizzled/planar cell polarity (PCP) and anterior-posterior (AP) patterning systems for planar polarity operate in a variety of cell types and provide direction to cells with different morphologies and behaviors. These two systems involve different sets of proteins but both use dir...
متن کاملWnt proteins can direct planar cell polarity in vertebrate ectoderm
The coordinated orientation of cells across the tissue plane, known as planar cell polarity (PCP), is manifested by the segregation of core PCP proteins to different sides of the cell. Secreted Wnt ligands are involved in many PCP-dependent processes, yet whether they act as polarity cues has been controversial. We show that in Xenopus early ectoderm, the Prickle3/Vangl2 complex was polarized t...
متن کاملMulticellular rosette formation links planar cell polarity to tissue morphogenesis.
Elongation of the body axis is accompanied by the assembly of a polarized cytoarchitecture that provides the basis for directional cell behavior. We find that planar polarity in the Drosophila embryo is established through a sequential enrichment of actin-myosin cables and adherens junction proteins in complementary surface domains. F-actin accumulation at AP interfaces represents the first bre...
متن کاملA role for planar cell polarity during early endoderm morphogenesis
The zebrafish endoderm begins to develop at gastrulation stages as a monolayer of cells. The behaviour of the endoderm during gastrulation stages is well understood. However, knowledge of the morphogenic movements of the endoderm during somitogenesis stages, as it forms a mesenchymal rod, is lacking. Here we characterise endodermal development during somitogenesis stages, and describe the morph...
