Rap1 and Canoe/afadin are essential for establishment of apical–basal polarity in the Drosophila embryo

The small GTPase Rap1 and the actin-junctional linker protein Canoe/afadin are essential for the initial establishment of polarity in Drosophila, acting upstream of Bazooka/Par3 and the adherens junctions. However, feedback and cross-regulation occur, so polarity establishment is regulated by a netw...
