Abstract excerpt
Cytokines of the TGF beta superfamily regulate many aspects of cellular function by activating receptor complexes consisting of two distantly related serine/threonine kinases. Previous studies have indicated that Drosophila dpp uses similar signaling complexes and strictly requires the punt and thick veins receptors to transduce the signal across the membrane. Here, we show that the schnurri (shn) gene is...
