PubMed Abstract The developing limbs of Drosophila are subdivided into distinct cells populations known as compartments. Short-range interaction between cells in adjacent compartments induces expression of signaling molecules at the compartment boundaries. In addition to serving as the sources of long-range signals, compartment boundaries prevent mixing of the adjacent cell populations. One model for boundary formation proposes that affinity differences between compartments are defined autonomously as one aspect of compartment-specific cell identity. An alternative is that the affinity boundary depends on signaling between compartments. Here, we present evidence that the dorsal selector gene apterous plays a role in establishing the dorsoventral affinity boundary that is independent of Notch-mediated signaling between dorsal and ventral cells.
