BMP-binding modules in chordin: a model for signalling regulation in the extracellular space
15 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
A number of genetic and molecular studies have implicated Chordin in the regulation of dorsoventral patterning during gastrulation. Chordin, a BMP antagonist of 120 kDa, contains four small (about 70 amino acids each) cysteine-rich domains (CRs) of unknown function. In this study, we show that the Chordin CRs define a novel protein module for the binding and regulation of BMPs. The biological activity of Chordin...
