High impact information on hiw

  • These results suggest that Highwire controls structural plasticity of the synapse by regulating gene expression through a MAP kinase signaling pathway [1].
  • Here we show that Hiw binds to the Smad protein Medea (Med) [2].
  • Highwire regulates presynaptic BMP signaling essential for synaptic growth [2].
  • These synapses appear normal ultrastructurally but have reduced quantal content physiologically. hiw encodes a large protein found at presynaptic terminals [3].
  • RPM-1 is most similar to the Drosophila presynaptic protein Highwire (HIW) and the mammalian Myc binding protein Pam [4].
 

Biological context of hiw

 

Anatomical context of hiw

 

Other interactions of hiw

  • These results reveal a balance between positive BMP signaling and negative regulation by Highwire, governing the growth of neuromuscular synapses [2].
  • Current models of highwire function suggest that it may act as a ubiquitin ligase to regulate synaptic development [5].
  • Fat facets does a Highwire act at the synapse [6].
