High impact information on wdb

Planar cell polarization requires Widerborst, a B' regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2A [1].
In Drosophila, wdb acts at two steps during planar polarization of wing epithelial cells [1].
Interestingly, Widerborst is found on a planar web of microtubules with connections to apical junctions, suggesting that these microtubules may have an important function in polarizing the cortex [2].
