Show abstract
Ligands of the TGF-{beta}/BMP superfamily are critically involved in the regulation of growth, patterning and organogenesis and can act as long-range morphogens. Essential for understanding TGF-{beta}/BMP signaling dynamics and regulation are tools that allow monitoring and manipulating pathway components expressed at physiological levels and endogenous spatiotemporal patterns. We used genome engineering to generate a comprehensive library of endogenously epitope-or fluorescently-tagged versions of receptors, co-receptors, transcription factors and key feedback regulators of the Drosophila BMP and Activin signaling pathways. We demonstrate that the generated alleles are biologically active and can be utilized for assessing tissue and subcellular distribution of the corresponding proteins. Further, we show that the genomic platforms can be used for in locus structure-function and cis-regulatory analyses. Finally, we present a complementary set of protein binder-based tools, which allow visualization as well as manipulation of the stability and subcellular localization of epitope-tagged proteins, providing new tools for the analysis of BMP signaling and beyond.

"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.
