Abstract:The interactions that cells inDrosophilaimaginal discs have with their neighbors are known to regulate their ability to survive. In a screen of genes encoding cell surface proteins for gene knockdowns that affect the size or shape of mutant clones, we found that clones of cells with reduced levels ofechinoid(ed) are fewer, smaller, and can be eliminated during development. In contrast, discs composed mostly ofedmutant tissue are overgrown. We find thatedmutant tissue has lower levels of the anti-apoptotic prot… Show more
