Generation and maintenance of apical rib-like actin fibers in epithelial support cells of the Drosophila eye

Abhi Bhattarai, Emily W. McGhie, Joshua Chanyoung Woo, Srijana Niraula, Patrick Rosetti, Jaxon M Kim, Ezekiel Popoola, Ruth I. Johnson

The paper identifies a novel F-actin network in Drosophila eye cells and shows its role in shaping the apical membrane through conserved actin regulatory proteins.

The dual Ras Association (RA) Domains of Drosophila Canoe have differential roles in linking cell junctions to the cytoskeleton during morphogenesis

Emily D. McParland, Noah J. Gurley, Leah R. Wolfsberg, T. Amber Butcher, Abhi Bhattarai, Corbin C. Jensen, Ruth I. Johnson, Kevin C. Slep, Mark A. Peifer

This study investigates the differential roles of RA1 and RA2 domains in Drosophila Canoe during morphogenesis, showing RA1 is critical for function while RA2 has a more limited role.
