Apical Spectrin Is Essential for Epithelial Morphogenesis but Not Apicobasal Polarity in Drosophila
Changes in cell shape and position drive morphogenesis in epithelia and depend on the polarized nature of its constituent cells. The spectrin-based membrane skeleton is thought to be a key player in the establishment and/or maintenance of cell shape and polarity. We report that apical βHeavy-spectri...
