This movie shows a maximum Z-projection of  Ecadherin::GFP (magenta) and Myosin Regulatory Light Chain MRLC::mCherry. Three examples of T1 transitions are illustrated. ‘Vertical' junctions (labelled in red) shrink leading to a 4-way vertex configuration (labelled in yellow) which is then resolved by the growth of new ‘horizontal’ junctions (labelled in green). Scale bar = 5 µm. Movie courtesy Claudio Collinet and Thomas Lecuit.
