Wnt Signalling: Refocusing on Strabismus
نویسنده
چکیده
Vertebrate homologues of the Strabismus/van Gogh (stbm/vang) gene have been implicated in patterning and morphogenesis during gastrulation. Recent work shows that stbm/vang is mutated in zebrafish trilobite mutants and that stbm/vang is required for morphogenesis but not patterning during zebrafish gastrulation.

Wnt Signalling: A Moving Picture Emerges From van gogh
Recent studies on vertebrate homologues of the van gogh/strabismus (vang/stbm) gene, a key player in planar cell polarity signalling in Drosophila, show that vang/stbm is involved in patterning and morphogenesis during vertebrate gastrulation where it modulates two distinct Wnt signals.
متن کاملThe Effects of Glycogen Syntase Kinase-3 β Inhibitor on The Ostogenic Differentiation of Unrestricted Somatic Stem Cells (Ussc)
Purpose: Bone defects caused by injuries, trauma, cancer, surgical operation or joint dislocation have great impacts on general health. Considering that Wnt signalling is one of the important regulators of the stem cell control, we sought to examine if Wnt activation affects the osteogenic differentiation of the USSCs.Materials and Methods: In this study, we have treated USSCs cultured in osteo...
متن کاملMitotic and mitogenic Wnt signalling.
Canonical Wnt signalling plays an important role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer. At the cellular level, canonical Wnt signalling acts by regulating cell fate, cell growth, and cell proliferation. With regard to proliferation, there is increasing evidence for a complex interaction between canonical Wnt signalling and the cell cycle. Mitogenic Wnt signalling regulates cell prolife...
متن کاملDual functions of DP1 promote biphasic Wnt-on and Wnt-off states during anteroposterior neural patterning.
DP1, a dimerization partner protein of the transcription factor E2F, is known to inhibit Wnt/β-catenin signalling along with E2F, although the function of DP1 itself was not well characterized. Here, we present a novel dual regulatory mechanism of Wnt/β-catenin signalling by DP1 independent from E2F. DP1 negatively regulates Wnt/β-catenin signalling by inhibiting Dvl-Axin interaction and by enh...
متن کاملWnt/PCP proteins regulate stereotyped axon branch extension in Drosophila.
Branching morphology is a hallmark feature of axons and dendrites and is essential for neuronal connectivity. To understand how this develops, I analyzed the stereotyped pattern of Drosophila mushroom body (MB) neurons, which have single axons branches that extend dorsally and medially. I found that components of the Wnt/Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) pathway control MB axon branching. frizzled mut...
