Coactivator MBF1 preserves the redox-dependent AP-1 activity during oxidative stress in Drosophila

Jindra, Marek, Gaziova, Ivana, Uhlirova, Mirka, Okabe, Masataka, Hiromi, Yasushi, Hirose, Susumu

Basic leucine zipper proteins Jun and Fos form the dimeric transcription factor AP-1, essential for cell differentiation and immune and antioxidant defenses. AP-1 activity is controlled, in part, by...

The origin of the parathyroid gland

Okabe, Masataka, Graham, Anthony

It has long been held that the parathyroid glands and parathyroid hormone evolved with the emergence of the tetrapods, reflecting a need for new controls on calcium homeostasis in terrestrial, rather...

The role of the endoderm in the development and evolution of the pharyngeal arches

Graham, Anthony, Okabe, Masataka, Quinlan, Robyn

The oro-pharyngeal apparatus has its origin in a series of bulges found on the lateral surface of the embryonic head, the pharyngeal arches. Significantly, the development of these structures is...
