Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily ligands regulate many aspects of cell
identity, function, and survival in multicellular animals. Genes encoding five TGF-β family …

… -beta-related signals and signal transduction cassettes in C. elegans. Homology searches of
the … Thus, TGF-beta-related signaling in C. elegans proceeds via both conserved and novel …

… Current studies in C. elegans continue to identify new functions for the TGF-β family in this
… pathway and the C. elegans Sma/Mab pathway. (A) The classic TGF-β signaling pathway. …

We cloned the dbl-1 gene, a C. elegans homolog of Drosophila decapentaplegic and vertebrate
BMP genes. Loss-of-function mutations in dbl-1 cause markedly reduced body size and …

… 45C, the samples were infiltrated with gradients of HM20 resin over 9 hr, with pure resin for
18 hr at –45C and the resin was polymerised under UV for 24 hr at –45C and for 12 hr at 0C. …

In C. elegans, a TGFβ-related signaling pathway regulates body size. Loss of function of the
signaling ligand (dbl-1),receptors (daf-4 and sma-6) or Smads (sma-2, sma-3and sma-4) …

… Notably, we demonstrate that T27F2.4, a C. elegans homolog of the mouse gene fosB, is
a downstream negative regulator of DBL-1 pathway-regulated development. Taken together, …

… Here we introduce DBL-1, the C. elegans homolog of bone morphogenetic protein 2/4 (…
We conclude that BMP signaling regulates lipid metabolism in C. elegans through interorgan …

… affecting body size or male sensory ray patterning (Savage-Dunn et al.,2003; Lints and
Emmons,2002). Here we report the isolation of the C. elegans shnhomolog sma-9, and provide …

… Receptor-regulated Smads (R-Smads) are directly phosphorylated by the TGF-β receptors
on the C-… C. elegans strains were grown at 20 using standard methods (Brenner 1974). All …
