The ZO-1 protein Polychaetoid as an upstream regulator of the Hippo pathway in Drosophila.

The generation of a diversity of photoreceptor (PR) subtypes with different spectral sensitivities is essential for color vision in animals. In the Drosophila eye, the Hippo pathway has been implicated in blue- and green-sensitive PR subtype fate specification. Specifically, Hippo pathway activation...
