However, they are consistent with the prevailing model in which Wg forms a trimeric complex with Arr and DFz2 that transduces a signal through Dsh to activate LEF/TCF-responsive promoters.
Mancini et al . reported that caspase-2 was localized at the Golgi complex and generated a unique cleavage product of golgin-160 [ 29 ] . Furthermore, these investigators proposed that the Golgi complex transduces proapoptotic signals [ 29 ] . A precedent for this hypothesis was provided by Nakagawa et al ., who reported that caspase-12 is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and mediates an endoplasmic reticulum-specific apoptosis pathway [ 33 ] . In the present study, we have found that all Golgi autoantigens examined were cleaved in apoptosis in a caspase-dependent manner, as evidenced by studies showing that the pan-caspase inhibitor zVAD-fmk completely blocked the apoptotic fragmentation of these antigens.
These responses are governed by a complex, condition-specific regulatory system that transduces information through the cell to the nucleus, where gene expression is adjusted accordingly.
A PAS domain has been reported in the transcription factor PIF3 from Arabidopsis, which interacts with a phytochrome photoreceptor and transduces light signals to photoresponsive plant genes [ 44].
Two molecular loci recently have been implicated as potential modulators of GnRH receptor signaling: one is the receptor itself [ 23 ] , and the other is the G protein that transduces the signal generated by binding of the receptor to its agonist [ 9 ] . With respect to the former locus, G protein coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) act in an agonist-specific manner to phosphorylate intracellular regions of the receptor thus permitting β arrestin binding that sterically inhibits G protein association with the receptor [ 1 45 ] . We have reported previously that experimental expression of GRKs in GnRH receptor-expressing heterologous cells (COS-1) suppressed GnRH-stimulated IP 3 production, and that co-expression of GRK2 and β-arrestin 2 suppressed GnRH receptor signaling more than that of either alone [ 23 ] . Stronger evidence that the GRK/β arrestin paradigm may play a role in regulating GnRH receptor signaling is our recent finding that adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of GRK2 into normal pituitary gonadotropes suppressed GnRH-stimulated LH secretion and IP 3 production [ 31 ] . However, no evidence has been presented for a direct interaction between β-arrestin and the GnRH receptor.
