Hedgehog induces opposite changes in turnover and subcellular localization of patched and smoothened

Article Abstract:

Research reveals that the signaling proteins of the hedgehog family are regulated by two integral membrane proteins mediating hedgehog binding and signal transduction. Results show that the two membrane proteins interact in a mutually exclusive manner with the hedgehog proteins in the signal processing in Drosophila.

Dpp gradient formation in the Drosophila wing imaginal disc

Article Abstract:

Research investigates the gradient pattern of the signaling protein Dpp morphogen in the Drosophila wing using Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) tag. Data reveal that Dpp-GFP forms an unstable extracellular gradient that differs from the Dpp activity gradient.

The LRR proteins Capricious and Tartan mediate cell interactions during DV boundary formation in the Drosophila wing

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on the Capricious and Tartan, transmembrane proteins with the leucine-rich repeats. The evidence that these proteins form the affinity boundary between the dorsal and ventral compartments during Drosophila wing development is presented.

Statistical Data Included, Leucine, Cell research, Cytological research
