    Abstract Drosophila melanogaster has been widely used in the study of developmental growth control and has been instrumental in the discovery and delineation of many signalling pathways that contribute to this growth, in particular the Hippo pathway. Quantitative analysis of adult tissue size has remained a vital tool in the study of tissue growth. This chapter will describe how to dissect, image, and quantify two tissues commonly used to measure growth, the Drosophila wing and eye.

    Abstract Precisely controlled organisation at the cellular and tissue level is crucial to establish and maintain complex organisms. The atypical cadherins Fat (Ft), Fat2 and Dachsous (Ds) contribute to this organisation by regulating growth and planar cell polarity. Here we describe the recent advances in understanding how these large cadherins coordinate these processes, and discuss additional progress extending their function in regulation of microtubules, migration and disease.

    Abstract Development of an organism requires accurate coordination between the growth of a tissue and orientation of cells within the tissue. The large cadherin Fat has been shown to play a role in both of these processes. Fat is involved in the establishment of planar cell polarity and regulates growth through the Hippo pathway, a developmental cascade that controls proliferation and apoptosis. Both Fat and the Hippo pathway are known to regulate transcription of four-jointed, although the nature of this regulation is unknown. In this study, we test whether Fat affects four-jointed transcription via or independently of Hippo pathway. Our analysis of the four-jointed regulatory region reveals a 1.2 kb element that functions as an enhancer for graded expression of Four-jointed in the eye imaginal disc. Within this enhancer element, we identify a 20 bp fragment that is critical for regulation by Fat but not by Hippo. Our findings suggest that Fat and the Hippo pathway control four-jointed expression independently of each other and none of the transcription factors known to function downstream of the Hippo pathway are required to regulate four-jointed expression through the 1.2 kb element.

    Abstract The Hippo pathway is a conserved and critical regulator of tissue growth. The FERM protein Expanded is a key signaling hub that promotes activation of the Hippo pathway, thereby inhibiting the transcriptional co-activator Yorkie. Previous work identified the polarity determinant Crumbs as a primary regulator of Expanded. Here, we show that the giant cadherin Fat also regulates Expanded directly and independently of Crumbs. We show that direct binding between Expanded and a highly conserved region of the Fat cytoplasmic domain recruits Expanded to the apicolateral junctional zone and stabilizes Expanded. In vivo deletion of Expanded binding regions in Fat causes loss of apical Expanded and promotes tissue overgrowth. Unexpectedly, we find Fat can bind its ligand Dachsous via interactions of their cytoplasmic domains, in addition to the known extracellular interactions. Importantly, Expanded is stabilized by Fat independently of Dachsous binding. These data provide new mechanistic insights into how Fat regulates Expanded, and how Hippo signaling is regulated during organ growth.
