Show abstract
Psi, the sole FUSE Binding Protein (FUBP) family single stranded DNA/RNA binding protein in Drosophila, is essential for proper cell and tissue growth, however its mechanism of function remains unclear. Here we use Targeted DamID combined with RNA-sequencing to generate the first genome-wide binding and expression profiles for Psi. Surprisingly, we demonstrate Psi drives growth in the Drosophila wing through transcriptional repression of key developmental pathways (e.g. Wnt, Notch and TGF{beta}). Thus, Psi patterns tissue growth by directly repressing transcription of developmental growth suppressors. Analysis of direct Psi targets identified novel growth inhibitors, including Tolkin (Zinc metallopeptidase implicated in TGF{beta} signalling), Ephexin (Rho-GEF) and emp (CD36 scavenger receptor-related protein). Their depletion not only suppressed impaired growth associated with Psi knockdown, but alone was sufficient to drive wing overgrowth. Thus, Psi drives wing growth twofold, through direct activation of Myc and through transcriptional repression of growth inhibitors comprising core developmental pathways.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
