“…In mature epithelia, however, the bulk of Par3 segregates to the apical/lateral border, where it plays an essential role in the positioning and assembly of apical junctions (Achilleos et al, 2010;Georgiou et al, 2008;Harris and Peifer, 2004;Harris and Tepass, 2008;Izumi et al, 1998;Leibfried et al, 2008;Totong et al, 2007;Yamanaka et al, 2001). The release of Par3 in epithelia depends on phosphorylation of Par3 by aPKC, and involves handoff of Par6-aPKC to Cdc42 and the epithelial specific Crumbs polarity complex (Bilder et al, 2003;Harris and Peifer, 2005;Hong et al, 2003;Krahn et al, 2010;Morais-de-Sá et al, 2010;Nagai-Tamai et al, 2002;Nunes de Almeida et al, 2019;Walther and Pichaud, 2010).…”
