Epithelial morphogenesis requires cell shape changes coordinated by local modulations of the actin cytoskeleton. We identify a role for Echinoid (Ed), a homophilic binding cell adhesion molecule, in the generation of contractile actomyosin cables that drive epithelial morphogenesis in both the Drosophila ovarian follicular epithelium and embryo. Specifically, we demonstrate that such contractile structures form at the interface of cells expressing and lacking Ed. Analysis of such interfaces generated by ed mutant follicle clones indicates that the juxtaposition of wild type and ed mutant cells results in the asymmetric localization of Ed in the wild type cell, which is sufficient to trigger the formation of an actomyosin cable at the clon...
