Research Abstract |
Many bilateral animals show left-right(LR) asymmetry in their body. Many genes involved in the left-right axis formation have been identified in vertebrates. However, the cellular mechanisms how LR asymmetric organ morphology is generated are still largely unknown. In this study, we studied the LR asymmetry of Drosophila gut. Our results suggest that Myo31DF and DE-Cad are required for the LR biased cell shape formation and LR biased cell shape is sufficient to induce the directional LR asymmetric morphogenesis of the Drosophila gut.
