Interacting selectively with alpha-actinin, one of a family of proteins that cross-link F-actin as antiparallel homodimers. Alpha-actinin has a molecular mass of 93-103 KDa; at the N-terminus there are two calponin homology domains, at the C-terminus there are two EF-hands. These two domains are connected by the rod domain. This domain is formed by triple-helical spectrin repeats.

Catalysis of the reaction: (R)-lactaldehyde + NAD+ = methylglyoxal + NADH + H+.

Catalysis of the reaction: CH3-CHOH-CH2-[CH2]n-CO-[acyl-carrier protein] = H2O + CH3-CH-CH-[CH2]n-CO-[acyl-carrier protein].

N-terminal basic amino acid aminopeptidase activity

Catalysis of the hydrolysis of basic amino acid residues at the N-terminal of an oligopeptide or polypeptide chain.

Catalysis of the hydrolysis of a lysine residue from the N-terminal of an oligopeptide or polypeptide chain.

Catalysis of the hydrolysis of an arginine residue from the N-terminal of an oligopeptide or polypeptide chain.

The establishment of the sex of a female organism by physical differentiation.

The establishment of the sex of a male organism by physical differentiation.

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the deposition of eggs, either fertilized or not, upon a surface or into a medium.

dorsal closure, leading edge cell differentiation

The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a leading edge cell, the dorsal-most cells of the epidermis that migrates during dorsal closure.

dorsal closure, amnioserosa morphology change

The changes that occur during dorsal closure of the shape and structure of the amnioserosa, an epithelium that occupies the dorsal side of the embryo.

Maintenance of the amnioserosa, an epithelium that occupies a hole in the embryonic dorsal epidermis.

Programmed cell death that occurs in the developing retina.

retinal cell programmed cell death (sensu Endopterygota)

retina cell programmed cell death (sensu Endopterygota)

Programmed cell death that occurs in the retina to remove excess cells between ommatidia, thus resulting in a hexagonal lattice, precise with respect to cell number and position surrounding each ommatidia. As in, but not restricted to, the Holometabola (Endopterygota, ncbi_taxonomy_id:33392).
