Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila Vestigial and Scalloped proteins form heterodimers that control wing development and are involved in muscle differentiation. Four vestigial like genes have been described in mammals. Similar to the Drosophila vestigial gene, they encode a short conserved domain (TONDU) required for interaction with the mammalian paralogues of Drosophila Scalloped (i.e., TEAD proteins). We previously identified two...
