Disease relevance of dsh

 

High impact information on dsh

  • Finally, accumulation of Dishevelled and Inturned near the basal apparatus of cilia suggests that these proteins function in a common pathway with core PCP components to regulate ciliogenesis [2].
  • Planar cell polarity signaling in Drosophila requires the receptor Frizzled and the cytoplasmic proteins Dishevelled and Prickle [3].
  • Rescue analysis reveals different protein domain requirements in Dishevelled for the two pathways; the C-terminal DEP domain is essential to rescue planar polarity defects and induce JNK signaling [4].
  • Here we show that the transmembrane receptor Notch is required downstream of dsh in R3/R4 for them to adopt distinct fates [5].
  • dishevelled and armadillo act in the wingless signalling pathway in Drosophila [6].
 

Biological context of dsh

  • We conclude that dsh, a highly conserved gene, is not merely a permissive factor in Wg signaling but encodes a novel signal transduction molecule, which may function between the Wg receptor and more downstream signaling molecules [7].
  • Differential recruitment of Dishevelled provides signaling specificity in the planar cell polarity and Wingless signaling pathways [8].
  • Sharp borders of gene expression correlating precisely with clone boundaries suggest that the effects of DSH and SGG on transcription of wg and dpp are not mediated by secreted factors but rather act through intracellular effectors [9].
  • While no functional motifs were identified, one region of Dvl-1 was found to be similar to a domain of discs large-1 (dlg), a Drosophila tumor suppressor gene [10].
  • Throughout postnatal development of the brain Dvl-1 is highly expressed in areas of high neuronal cell density [10].
 

Anatomical context of dsh

 

Associations of dsh with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of dsh

  • Yeast two hybrid and in vitro experiments indicate that Nkd directly binds to the basic-PDZ region of Dsh [15].
 

Co-localisations of dsh

  • A portion of Dsh colocalized with Fmi, and the distributions of both proteins were interdependent [16].
 

Regulatory relationships of dsh

  • Overexpression of CKIalpha induced hyper-phosphorylation of both Arm and Dishevelled in S2R+ cells and, conversely, CKIalpha-RNAi reduced the amount of hyper-modified forms [17].
 

Other interactions of dsh

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of dsh

  • EFX corresponds to a minimal domain required for fly or vertebrate Nkd to interact with the basic/PDZ domains of fly Dsh or vertebrate Dvl proteins in the yeast two-hybrid assay [20].
  • To learn more about how Dsh can discriminate between these functions, we performed genetic screens to isolate additional dsh alleles and we examined the potential role of protein phosphorylation by site-directed mutagenesis [21].
  • Utilizing RT-PCR with degenerate primers, we isolated another member of the mouse Dishevelled (Dvl) gene family, Dvl3 [22].
