Abstract

Wg/Wnt signalling-a highly conserved transduction pathway-has most commonly been found to be involved in patterning, cell fate, or cell proliferation, but less so in shaping organs or body parts. A remarkable case of the latter is the role of Wg signalling in the midgut of the Drosophila embryo. The Drosophila embryonic midgut is divided into four chambers that arise by the formation of three constrictions at distinct sites along the midgut. In particular, Wg is responsible for the middle constriction, a role first described more than 30 years ago. However, while some partial data have been obtained regarding the formation of this gut constriction, an overall picture of the process is lacking. Here we unveil that Wg signalling leads to this constriction by inducing ClC-a transcription in a subset of mesodermal cells. ClC-a, encodes a chloride channel, which in turn prompts a Ca+2 pulse in these cells. Consequently, the mesoderm cells, which already showed some polarity, repolarise and in so doing so they reshape the microtubule organisation, therefore inducing the constriction of the cells.

期刊介绍: EMBO Reports is a scientific journal that specializes in publishing research articles in the fields of molecular biology, cell biology, and developmental biology. The journal is known for its commitment to publishing high-quality, impactful research that provides novel physiological and functional insights. These insights are expected to be supported by robust evidence, with independent lines of inquiry validating the findings. The journal's scope includes both long and short-format papers, catering to different types of research contributions. It values studies that: Communicate major findings: Articles that report significant discoveries or advancements in the understanding of biological processes at the molecular, cellular, and developmental levels. Confirm important findings: Research that validates or supports existing knowledge in the field, reinforcing the reliability of previous studies. Refute prominent claims: Studies that challenge or disprove widely accepted ideas or hypotheses in the biosciences, contributing to the correction and evolution of scientific understanding. Present null data: Papers that report negative results or findings that do not support a particular hypothesis, which are crucial for the scientific process as they help to refine or redirect research efforts. EMBO Reports is dedicated to maintaining high standards of scientific rigor and integrity, ensuring that the research it publishes contributes meaningfully to the advancement of knowledge in the life sciences. By covering a broad spectrum of topics and encouraging the publication of both positive and negative results, the journal plays a vital role in promoting a comprehensive and balanced view of scientific inquiry.
