A gradient of EGFR-ERK signaling has been classically implicated in various developmental processes. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Ogura et al. (2018) show that in the Drosophila tracheal placode, EGFR-ERK signaling propagates via a cell-by-cell relay mechanism rather than a gradient, and this sequential ERK activation controls proper placode invagination.
EGFR-ERK 信号的梯度在各种发育过程中具有经典意义。在本期《发育细胞》中,Ogura 等人(2018)表明,在果蝇气管基板中,EGFR-ERK 信号通过细胞间的接力机制而不是梯度传递,并且这种顺序 ERK 激活控制着正确的基板内陷。
