Differential stability of flamingo protein complexes underlies the establishment of planar polarity.

Current biology : CB | 2008

The planar polarization of developing tissues is controlled by a conserved set of core planar polarity proteins. In the Drosophila pupal wing, these proteins adopt distinct proximal and distal localizations in apicolateral junctions that act as subcellular polarity cues to control morphological events. The core polarity protein Flamingo (Fmi) localizes to both proximal and distal cell boundaries and is known to have asymmetric activity, but the molecular basis of this asymmetric activity is unknown.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


Vienna Drosophila Resource Center (tool)

RRID:SCR_013805

Biomaterial supply resource which collects, maintains, and distributes independent transgenic fly lines. Most of the 38,000 fly lines are RNAi lines, but VDRC also maintains a collection of enhancer-GAL4 driver lines. Nearly all lines are in duplicate. Users can search for the stocks or DNA constructs for the gene of interest by entering CG number, synonym, or Transformant ID.

FlyBase (tool)

RRID:SCR_006549

Database of Drosophila genetic and genomic information with information about stock collections and fly genetic tools. Gene Ontology (GO) terms are used to describe three attributes of wild-type gene products: their molecular function, the biological processes in which they play a role, and their subcellular location. Additionally, FlyBase accepts data submissions. FlyBase can be searched for genes, alleles, aberrations and other genetic objects, phenotypes, sequences, stocks, images and movies, controlled terms, and Drosophila researchers using the tools available from the "Tools" drop-down menu in the Navigation bar.
