Autophagy suppression by TORC1 maintains epithelial plasma membrane integrity and inhibits syncytium formation

P. Kakanj, S. Bhide, B. Moussian, M. Leptin

The paper shows that autophagy, regulated by TORC1, maintains plasma membrane integrity and prevents syncytium formation during Drosophila wound healing.

Dysfunction of Torr causes a Harlequin-type ichthyosis-like phenotype in Drosophila melanogaster

Y. Wang, M. Norum, K. Oehl, Y. Yang, R. Zuber, J. Yang, J.-P. Farine, N. Gehring, M. Floetenmeyer, J.-F. Ferveur, B. Moussian

This paper shows that the Drosophila Torr transporter is essential for cuticle barrier function, similar to the human ABCA12 gene's role in skin lipid barriers, causing desiccation and ichthyosis-like phenotypes when dysfunctional.

Epidermal cell surface structure and chitin-protein co-assembly determine fiber architecture in the Locust cuticle

S. Sviben, O. Spaeker, M. Bennet, M. Alberic, a.-H. Dirks, B. Moussian, P. Fratzl, L. Bertinetti, Y. Politi

This study investigates how epidermal cell surface structure and chitin-protein co-assembly influence fiber architecture in locust cuticle, showing both active and passive processes determine the final arrangement.

The C-type lectin Schlaff ensures epidermal barrier compactness in Drosophila

R. Zuber, K. S. Shaik, F. Meyer, H.-N. Ho, A. Speidel, N. Gehring, S. Bartoszewski, H. Schwarz, B. Moussian

This study identifies Schlaff as a C-type lectin essential for maintaining the compactness of the Drosophila epidermal cuticle through its role in adhesion between cuticle layers.
