..., these findings indicate that Vps4 can promote EGFR activity through an endocytosis-independent mechanism. SUMMARY : The AAA ATPase Vps4 is required for and promotes EGFR activity during Drosophila eye development, acting via an endocytosis-independent mechanism. Vps4 Endocytosis EGF receptor...

The developmental decision between wing and body wall is defined by the opposing activities of two secreted signalling molecules, Wingless and the EGF receptor ligand Vein...

...Emma L. Rawlins; Neil M. White; Andrew P. Jarman EGF receptor signalling plays diverse inductive roles during development. To achieve this, its activity must be carefully regulated in a variety of ways to control the time, pattern, intensity and duration of signalling. We show that the cell surface...

An antibody raised against a peptide from human caspase 3 was used to investigate how extracellular signals controlled spatial patterning of cell death. The antibody...

FGF signaling is required for guided migration of all tracheal branches, whereas the DPP, EGF receptor, and Wingless/WNT signaling pathways each mediate the formation of specific subsets of branches...

...Lihui Yang; Nicholas E. Baker ABSTRACT The Drosophila EGF receptor is required for differentiation of many cell types during eye development. We have used mosaic analysis with definitive null mutations to analyze the effects of complete absence of EGFR, Ras or Raf proteins during eye development...

...Philip R. Elstob; Véronique Brodu; Alex P. Gould ABSTRACT Signaling from the EGF receptor (EGFR) can trigger the differentiation of a wide variety of cell types in many animal species. We have explored the mechanisms that generate this diversity using the Drosophila peripheral nervous system...

.... Flies of ed mutant produce extra photoreceptor and cone cells. Conversely, ectopic overexpression of ed in the eye leads to reduction of photoreceptor number. We demonstrate that ED acts by converging on TTK88, the most downstream component known in EGF receptor signaling. Our results not only...
