Abstract

Genetic analysis of klp64D(kif3a homolog) function in the Drosophilapupal retina. The ommatidum on the left consists of wild‐type photoreceptors. The ommatidium on the right is a genetic mosaic containing wild‐type and mutant cells marked by green fluorescent protein. __klp64D__mutant cells show mislocalization of adherens junction proteins, DE‐Cadherin and Armadillo (labeled by red and blue staining, respectively). See the article by Mukhopadhyay et al. in this issue.

## Abstract Photoreceptor morphogenesis requires specific and coordinated localization of junctional markers at different stages of development. Here, we provide evidence that __Drosophila__ Klp64D, a homolog of Kif3A motor subunit of the heterotrimeric Kinesin II complex, is essential for viabilit
