Journal ArticleDOI
Wnt Signaling in Oncogenesis and Embryogenesis--a Look Outside the Nucleus
Mark Peifer,Paul Polakis +1 more
TL;DR: Two areas of rapid advance are focused on: the machinery that regulates the stability of the key signal transducer, β-catenin, and the effect of Wnt signaling on cellular targets outside the nucleus, the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Armadillo Coactivates Transcription Driven by the Product of the Drosophila Segment Polarity Gene dTCF
Marc van de Wetering,Robert Cavallo,Dennis Dooijes,Moniek van Beest,Johan H. van Es,Joseph Loureiro,Arne Ypma,Deborah A. Hursh,Tamara L. Jones,Amy Bejsovec,Mark Peifer,Mark A. Mortin,Hans Clevers +12 more
TL;DR: A maternally expressed Drosophila TCF family member is cloned, dTCF, which mediates Wingless signaling as a bipartite transcription factor and binds a canonical TCF DNA motif and interacts with the beta-catenin homolog Armadillo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drosophila Tcf and Groucho interact to repress Wingless signalling activity
Robert Cavallo,Rachel T. Cox,Melissa M. Moline,Jeroen P. Roose,Gordon Polevoy,Hans Clevers,Mark Peifer,Amy Bejsovec +7 more
TL;DR: It is reported that in the absence of Armadillo, dTcf acts as a transcriptional repressor of Wingless-responsive genes, and it is shown that Groucho act as a corepressor in this process.
Journal ArticleDOI
A repeating amino acid motif shared by proteins with diverse cellular roles
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Genetics of the Bithorax Complex in Drosophila melanogaster
Welcome Bender,Michael Akam,François Karch,Philip A. Beachy,Mark Peifer,Pierre Spierer,Edward B. Lewis,David S. Hogness +7 more
TL;DR: The DNA of the bithorax complex has been isolated, and a region of 195,000 base pairs that covers the left half of the complex is described here.
