Abstract excerpt
Drosophila sequences at chromosomal positions 25D (Brk25D) and 43E (Brk43E) are similar to the TGF beta type I receptor serine/threonine kinases and are expressed broadly during embryogenesis. Brk25D binds dpp protein and bone morphogenetic protein 2 with high affinity. Mutations affecting Brk25D map to the gene thick veins and block the expression of two decapentaplegic-responsive (dpp-responsive) genes, dpp and...
