Abstract:
Highlights? In Drosophila epidermis, shavenbaby controls ZPD gene expression ? Apical cell shape remodeling relies on the coordinated action of ZPD genes ? ZPD proteins define sub-regions in the apical extracellular matrix (aECM) ? ZPD products maintain localized apical membrane/aECM interactions.
