First evidence for a role of PI(3)K in cell growth and cell-size control. Expression of dominant negative and activated versions of Dp110 in the eye and wing results in a reduction and increase in cell size, respectively. Expression of these constructs, however, does not interfere with cell-fate specification involving Ras signaling.
