Structure and allostery in Toll-Spatzle recognition
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 24282309
Function
[SPZ_DROME] Component of the extracellular signaling pathway that establishes the dorsal-ventral pathway of the embryo. Three proteases; ndl, gd and snk process easter to create active easter. Active easter defines cell identities along the dorsal-ventral continuum by activating the spz ligand for the Tl receptor in the ventral region of the embryo. Spz C-106 in the hemolymph controls expression of the antifungal peptide Drosomycin (Drs) by acting as a ligand of Tl and inducing an intracellular signaling pathway.[1] [2] [3] [4]
