Tropomodulin1 is required for membrane skeleton organization and hexagonal geometry of fiber cells in the mouse lens
Hexagonal packing geometry is a hallmark of close-packed epithelial cells in metazoans. Here, we used fiber cells of the vertebrate eye lens as a model system to determine how the membrane skeleton controls hexagonal packing of post-mitotic cells. The membrane skeleton consists of spectrin tetramers...
