Abstract excerpt
The rnt-1 gene is the only Caenorhabditis elegans homologue of the mammalian RUNX genes. Several lines of molecular biological evidence have demonstrated that the RUNX proteins interact and cooperate with Smads, which are transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signal mediators. However, the involvement of RUNX in TGF-beta signaling has not yet been supported by any genetic evidence. The Sma/Mab TGF-beta...
