RGS Proteins and Septins Cooperate to Promote Chemotropism by Regulating Polar Cap Mobility

TL;DR: It is shown that septins colocalize with the regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) Sst2, a GTPase-activating protein that dampens pheromone receptor signaling, and that the septin structure surrounds the polar cap, ensuring that cell growth is directed toward the source of phersomone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systematic analysis of F-box proteins reveals a new branch of the yeast mating pathway

TL;DR: These findings point to the existence of a new and distinct branch of the pheromone-signaling pathway, one that likely leads to vacuolar engulfment of cytoplasmic proteins and recycling of cellular contents in preparation for mating.
Journal ArticleDOI

ROR and RYK extracellular region structures suggest that receptor tyrosine kinases have distinct WNT-recognition modes.

TL;DR: In this paper, crystal structures and WNT-binding characteristics of extracellular regions from the Drosophila ROR and RYK orthologs Nrk (neurospecific receptor tyrosine kinase) and Derailed-2 (Drl-2), which bind WNTs though a FZD-related cysteine-rich domain (CRD) and a WNTinhibitory factor (WIF) domain respectively.
