Abstract excerpt
Mesoderm induction and patterning are primarily regulated by the concentration of locally expressed morphogens such as members of the TGFbetasuperfamily. Smad2 functions as a transcription factor to regulate expression of mesodermal genes downstream of such morphogens. We have identified Xenopus PIASy (XPIASy), a member of the PIAS family, by yeast two-hybrid screening using Xenopus Smad2 (XSmad2) as a bait....
