Varicose: a MAGUK required for the maturation and function of Drosophila septate junctions
Abstract
BackgroundScaffolding proteins belonging to the membrane associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) superfamily function as adapters linking cytoplasmic and cell surface proteins to the cytoskeleton to regulate cell-cell adhesion, cell-cell communication and signal transduction. We characterize here a Drosophila MAGUK member, Varicose (Vari), the homologue of vertebrate scaffolding protein PALS2.ResultsVaricose localizes to pleated septate junctions …
