The paper reports the first structure of the Beat-Side complex and shows its role in motor neuron connectivity in Drosophila.

This study identifies hkb as a regulator of DIP- expression and target recognition in specific Drosophila motor neurons, revealing distinct transcriptional control mechanisms.

This study shows that Drosophila Dpr and DIP proteins are GPI anchored, and this modification is necessary for their cell surface organization and function.

The paper systematically profiles dprs and DIPs expression in Drosophila larval neurons to identify cell surface codes involved in synaptic recognition.

The paper investigates how the loss of one convergent synaptic input affects the structural and functional plasticity of adjacent inputs in Drosophila neuromuscular circuits, finding that co-innervation is necessary for robust compensation.

The paper shows that temporal transcription factors permanently alter neuromuscular synaptic partnerships, unlike cardinal transcription factors which are compensated for early defects.
