Drosophila vinculin is more harmful when hyperactive than absent, and can circumvent integrin to form adhesion complexes

Vinculin is a highly conserved protein involved in cell adhesion and mechanotransduction, and both gain and loss of its activity causes defective cell behaviour. Here, we examine how altering vinculin activity perturbs integrin function within the context of Drosophila development. Whereas loss of v...
