ATPase-dependent control of the Mms21 SUMO ligase during DNA repair.

abstract：:Morphogen gradients are established by the localized production and subsequent diffusion of signaling molecules. It is generally assumed that cell fates are induced only after morphogen profiles have reached their steady state. Yet, patterning processes during early development occur rapidly, and tissue patterning may...
