- Abstract:
- ... The GPCR-like transmembrane protein Smoothened (Smo) is an indispensable transducer in Hedgehog (Hh) pathway, its hyperactivation leads to several human cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The mechanism governing Smo stability still remains elusive. Here, we perform a modifier screening in Drosophila, and find that the E3 ligase dHerc4 degrades dSmo. Depletion of dherc4 increase ...

In Drosophila, the thoracic neuroblast 6-4 (NB6-4T) divides asymmetrically into a glial precursor and a neuronal precursor, while the abdominal neuroblast 6-4 (NB6-4A) divides symmetrically to produce two glial cells. The underlying mechanism by which NB6-4T and NB6-4A undergo distinct differentiation is still elusive. Here, we find that the transcription factor Apontic (Apt) exclusively expresses ...

Hybrids congregated in the center region of inbreds, forming an additive distributi ...
