High impact information on CG6904

  • We found that Shaggy (Sgg), the Drosophila homolog of the mammalian glycogen synthase kinases 3 alpha and beta, two serine-threonine kinases, was concentrated at this synapse [1].
  • The c-Jun oncoprotein may have the potential to transform cells but this does not excuse it from similar mechanisms of control to glycogen synthase [2].
  • Glycogen synthase is a critical enzyme regulating glucose storage [2].
  • While at first sight a role in transcriptional regulation appears unlikely for a protein first identified as acting on glycogen synthase, it is even more surprising that the same protein should be functionally interchangeable with a fruit fly homeotic gene [2].
