title: Hedgehog signalling: Ci complex cuts and clasps.
abstract: Hedgehog (Hh) signalling in Drosophila inhibits partial proteolysis of the transcription factor Cubitus interruptus (Ci), and the ability of a complex containing Ci and the kinesin-related protein Costal-2 to bind microtubules. These changes are proposed to turn Ci from a repressor to an activator of Hh-target genes.
