High impact information on dlt

  • Mutations in dlt or double-stranded RNA interference lead to aberrant localization of CRB and NRX IV and cause a concomitant loss of epithelial cell polarity [1].
  • CONCLUSIONS: We propose a model in which the interaction of the Crumbs carboxyl terminus with Discs Lost organises a membrane-associated protein complex in the apical cytocortex of epithelial cells [2].
  • The P-element insertion was in the intron of a novel gene, Vanaso, which contains a putative guanylate binding protein domain, is highly polymorphic, and is expressed in the third antennal segment, the major olfactory organ of Drosophila [3].
  • Drosophila Crumbs also interacts with two other polarity genes, Stardust and Discs Lost [4].
  • In Drosophila, the genomic organization of dlt is unusual. dlt shares its first untranslated exon with alpha-spectrin, and both genes are coexpressed throughout development [5].
