The ERM protein Moesin is essential for neuronal morphogenesis and long-term memory in Drosophila

Abstract Moesin is a cytoskeletal adaptor protein that plays an important role in modification of the actin cytoskeleton. Rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton drives both neuronal morphogenesis and the structural changes in neurons that are required for long-term memory formation. Moesin has been...
