1 Here, we show that a specific isoform of Polychaetoid/ZO-1, Pyd-P, is essential for Drosophila SDs, since, in pyd mutants devoid of Pyd-P, SDs do not form and the SD component Dumbfounded accumulates at ectopic septate-like junctions between abnormally aggregated nephrocytes. SD 0006 polychaetoid Drosophila melanogaster
2 This transition requires the coiled-coil domain of Pyd-P and implies formation of nonclathrin vesicles containing SD components and their trafficking to the nephrocyte external membrane, where SDs assemble. SD 0006 polychaetoid Drosophila melanogaster
