Abstract


Mucins may be the ugly ducklings of molecular biology. Their large size, repetitive nature, and unglamorous biological activities have not favored their study. However, integral membrane mucins have conserved intracellular C termini that may influence intracellular signaling. In a recent issue of Genes & Development, Cullen et al. show that the C terminus of membrane mucin-like Msb2 activates a CDC42/MAPK cascade to control filamentous growth of baker's yeast.
