... and the tendon matrix at muscle attachment sites. Here, we identify phosphorylation sites on Drosophila Talin by mass spectrometry. Talin is phosphorylated in late embryogenesis when muscles differentiate, especially on T152 in the exposed loop of the F1 domain of the Talin head. Localization of a mutated...

By using loss-of-function approaches, we show that in the absence of both genes, muscle attachment to tendon cells is altered, even though the molecular cascade...
