Structure-specific abnormalities associated with mutations in a DNA replication accessory factor in Drosophila.

abstract：:The mammalian prostate arises from the urogenital sinus and few factors have been identified to be important in the early stages of prostate development. In this study we show that the transcription factor Sox9 is expressed in the epithelia of all mouse prostatic lobes from the initial stages of their development. We ...

abstract：:LIM-Kinase (LIMK), including LIMK1 and LIMK2, is the only known catalytic protein among LIM-family molecules. It is well known that LIMK phosphorylates and inactivates cofilin, an actin-depolymerizing factor regulating actin reorganization, while in vivo functions have remained to be elucidated. In the present study, ...
