By binding to their receptors, intercellular communication molecules of the TGF-beta family can have agonist or antagonist effects, effects that are essential for the establishment of the dorsal and ventral regions of the embryo. In a paper published in the journal PLOS Biology in June 2024, Thierry Lepage's team at the Institut de Biologie Valrose reveals that, in the case of the antagonistic sea urchin TGF-beta PANDA, this dichotomy is based on the nature of a single amino acid in the interaction domain of the ligand to its receptor. -
