Abstract
We report that the metazoan Wnt protease and signaling inhibitor TIKI shares sequence homology with bacterial TraB/PrgY proteins, inhibitors of pheromone signaling essential for propagation of antibiotic resistance. Our analysis suggests that these proteins represent an ancient metalloprotease clan regulating cellular communications across biological kingdoms.Entities:
