Stripe Provides Cues Synergizing with Branchless to Direct Tracheal Cell Migration
Abstract
The Drosophila tracheal system is an interconnected tubular respiratory network, which is formed by directed stereotypic migration and fusion of branches. Cell migration and specification are determined by combinatorial signaling of several morphogens secreted from the ectoderm. We report the discovery of a group of ectodermal cells, marked by Stripe (Sr) expression, that coordinates tracheal cell migration in the dorsoventral axis. Sr, an EGR …
