2. Figure 1 Tissue relaxation upon stretch by Step recruitment.
(A) Tissue response upon external stretch in wild-type Drosophila and in a step mutant. During stretch, cell–cell junctions reorganize to allow tissue elongation as a consequence of Step activity (middle). In absence of Step, cells are unable to reorganize, and multicellular rosettes form (right, in dark grey). (B) Step protein is recruited to actomyosin enrichments at junctions and vertices (left) and downregulates actomyosin activity (middle), which allows for junctional elongation (right).
