GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. Torso interacts with both Trunk and Torso-like, which cooperate to mediate dimerization and activation of Torso at the ends of the Drosophila embryo
    Title: Reconstitution of Torso signaling in cultured cells suggests a role for both Trunk and Torso-like in receptor activation.
  2. Present and other previous studies, suggest that the function of Tsl is to mediate secretion of Trk, thus providing the mechanism for spatially restricted activation of Tor in Drosophila embryos.
    Title: Torso-like mediates extracellular accumulation of Furin-cleaved Trunk to pattern the Drosophila embryo termini.
  3. Data favours a scenario where Tsl functions post proteolytic processing of Trk to control localized terminal patterning.
    Title: Trunk cleavage is essential for Drosophila terminal patterning and can occur independently of Torso-like.
  4. Extracellular processing of the Trunk ligand at the anterior and posterior termini of the developing embryo activates the signaling pathway that defines the two ends.
