Membrane-bound proteins integrate and coordinate various signalling activities to maintain tissue architecture. In recent years, research updates indicate that these proteins undergo post-translational modification like glycosylation to maintain tissue integrity. Here we discuss research updates from Drosophila, about two essential membrane-bound proteins, Notch and Crumbs, that undergo such modifications to interact with each other and their implications in tumorigenesis
