Protein Domain : Twisted gastrulation (Tsg) protein IPR006761

Type  Family
Description  Tsg was identified in Drosophila melanogaster as being required to specify the dorsal-most structures in the embryo, for example the amnioserosa. Biochemical experiments have revealed three key properties of Tsg: it can synergistically inhibit Dpp/BMP action in both D. melanogaster and vertebrates by forming a tripartite complete between itself, SOG/chordin and a BMP ligand; Tsg seems to enhance the Tld/BMP-1-mediated cleavage rate of SOG/chordin and may change the preference of site utilisation; Tsg can promote the dissociation of chordin cysteine-rich-containing fragments from the ligand to inhibit BMP signalling [ , ].
