Genetic characterization and cloning of mothers against dpp, a gene required for decapentaplegic function in Drosophila melanogaster.
The decapentaplegic (dpp) gene of Drosophila melanogaster encodes a growth factor that belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily and that plays a central role in multiple… Expand

An extensive 3' cis-regulatory region directs the imaginal disk expression of decapentaplegic, a member of the TGF-beta family in Drosophila.
The decapentaplegic (dpp) gene in Drosophila melanogaster encodes a TGF-beta-like signalling molecule that is expressed in a complex and changing pattern during development. One of dpp's… Expand

The Drosophila activin receptor baboon signals through dSmad2 and controls cell proliferation but not patterning during larval development.
The TGF-beta superfamily of growth and differentiation factors, including TGF-beta, Activins and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play critical roles in regulating the development of many… Expand

Drosophila follicle cells: morphogenesis in an eggshell.
Epithelial morphogenesis is important for organogenesis and pivotal for carcinogenesis, but mechanisms that control it are poorly understood. The Drosophila follicular epithelium is a genetically… Expand

Genetic screens to identify elements of the decapentaplegic signaling pathway in Drosophila.
Pathways for regulation of signaling by transforming growth factor-beta family members are poorly understood at present. The best genetically characterized member of this family is encoded by the… Expand

Medea is a Drosophila Smad4 homolog that is differentially required to potentiate DPP responses.
Mothers against dpp (Mad) mediates Decapentaplegic (DPP) signaling throughout Drosophila development. Here we demonstrate that Medea encodes a MAD-related protein that functions in DPP signaling.… Expand

TGF-beta family signal transduction in Drosophila development: from Mad to Smads.
The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily encompasses a large group of soluble extracellular proteins that are potent regulators of development in both vertebrates and invertebrates.… Expand

Stepwise formation of a SMAD activity gradient during dorsal-ventral patterning of the Drosophila embryo
Genetic evidence suggests that the Drosophila ectoderm is patterned by a spatial gradient of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP). Here we compare patterns of two related cellular responses, both… Expand
