摘要: The invention provides compositions and methods of identifying testing TGF-β pathway agonists antagonists, in particular comprising Mothers against DPP (MAD) proteins related Smad polypeptides which exhibit sequence-specific DNA-binding activity. also a novel DNA sequence (SEQ ID NO:19); NO:20); NO:21) that is bound with high affinity by Drosophila MAD protein. This protein useful for compounds will enhance or interfere protein-DNA binding.
