Researchers used confocal microscopy to visualize the spatial distribution of two proteins that compete for the MAPK enzyme in early fruit fly embryos. Areas where levels of a protein important for head development were high (red, brighter color indicating more protein) there was less enzyme available to act upon a different protein (green) that is important for the development of the ends of the embryo, including the tail.

PRINCETON (US)—Protein competition over an important enzyme provides a mechanism to integrate different signals that direct early embryonic development. Continue…
