Example sentences for: fmi
How can you use “fmi” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In wing cells the distal assembly of the hair is preceded by the preferential accumulation of Fz, Dsh, Fmi/Stan, and Diego along the distal edge of the cell [ 9 11 12 13 ] . This provides a cortical mark that is thought to specify the proximal-distal axis of the cells.
We did not detect any mutant phenotype in adult aristae of fz , Van Gogh ( Vang ), dishevelled ( dsh ), starry night ( stan ) also known as - Flamingo ( fmi ) or prickle ( pk ) mutants [ 1 ] . It was surprising that upstream members of the fz pathway did not show a mutant phenotype while downstream members did.
It was reported previously that Fmi/Stan protein accumulated to a higher level in the PI cell that forms the bristle lineage [ 22 ] . Previous experiments have shown that Fz regulates orientation of the spindle in the division of the PI cell of the bristle sense organ lineage and it has been thought that this is the way that fz regulated bristle polarity [ 4 6 ] . Our observations suggest that fz may also play a later role in specifying bristle polarity that is analogous to its role in regulating hair and lateral development.
For example, the asymmetric accumulation of Fmi/Stan in wing cells is essential for marking the distal edge of wing cells [ 9 ] . However, Fmi/Stan does not accumulate asymmetrically in sensory organ precursor cell that gives rise to the bristle sense organ although the orientation of the pI cell spindle is altered in fmi/stan mutants [ 22 ] . Our observations on the arista suggest that the genetic circuitry of the fz pathway is modified in a different way in this cell type.
