... of target-recognition molecules is precisely regulated by the combinatorial action of positive and negative transcription factors. Fig. 7. A model of Toll and Tey function in muscle-specific innervation in Drosophila . The transmembrane protein Toll has a repulsive function against MN12s...

... valuable information on the principles of physiological miRNA::target recognition and predicted 1589 high-confidence miRNA family::mRNA interactions. Our data support the idea that miRNAs preferentially target genes involved in signaling processes and avoid genes with housekeeping functions...

... cone? Here we studied the dynamics of myopodia, postsynaptic filopodia in Drosophila muscles, and the role of Capricious (CAPS) during the process of synaptic matchmaking. CAPS is a target recognition molecule with an extracellular domain containing leucine-rich repeat sequences. It is expressed...

..., that two different inhibitors produce similar target recognition defects argues for the specificity of the effect for MMP inhibition. To quantitate the effects of SB-3CT, two parameters were measured; the length of the optic projection and the angle through which RGC axons make a turn in the mid...

...Hiroyuki Kose; Demian Rose; Xiaomao Zhu; Akira Chiba ABSTRACT We demonstrate that the cell adhesion molecule Fasciclin III (FAS3) mediates synaptic target recognition through homophilic interaction. FAS3 is expressed by the RP3 motoneuron and its target muscles during synaptic target recognition...
