  • Title: In situ activation pattern of Drosophila EGF receptor pathway during development.
    Author: Gabay L, Seger R, Shilo BZ.
    Journal: Science; 1997 Aug 22; 277(5329):1103-6. PubMed ID: 9262480.
    Abstract:
    Signaling cascades triggered by receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) participate in diverse developmental processes. The active state of these signaling pathways was monitored by examination of the in situ distribution of the active, dual phosphorylated form of mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK) with a specific monoclonal antibody. Detection of the active state of the Drosophila epidermal growth factor receptor (DER) pathway allowed the visualization of gradients and boundaries of receptor activation, assessment of the distribution of activating ligands, and analysis of interplay with the inhibitory ligand Argos. This in situ approach can be used to monitor other receptor-triggered pathways in a wide range of organisms.
