Genetic analysis of punt, a type II Dpp receptor that functions throughout the Drosophila melanogaster life cycle.

Genetics - 1 Feb 1998

Simin K, Bates E A, Horner M A, Letsou A

Abstract excerpt

TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta-) mediated signal transduction affects growth and patterning in a variety of organisms. Here we report a genetic characterization of the Drosophila punt gene that encodes a type II serine/threonine kinase TGF-beta/Dpp (Decapentaplegic) receptor. Although...
