Protein crosslinking by transglutaminase controls cuticle morphogenesis in Drosophila.

Protein crosslinking by transglutaminase controls cuticle morphogenesis in Drosophila.

Transglutaminase (TG) plays important and diverse roles in mammals, such as blood coagulation and formation of the skin barrier, by catalyzing protein crosslinking. In invertebrates, TG is known to be involved in immobilization of invading pathogens at sites of injury. Here we demonstrate that Droso...
