raw Functions through JNK signaling and cadherin-based adhesion to regulate Drosophila gonad morphogenesis

► Raw regulates ensheathment of germ cells by somatic cells during gonad formation. ► Raw negatively regulates JNK signaling during gonad formation. ► Raw regulates JUN subcellular localization. ► Raw modulates germline-soma interactions via E-cadherin and ARM.
