ABSTRACT LIN‐24, an aerolysin‐like pore‐forming protein in Caenorhabditis elegans, exemplifies how ancient cytolytic mechanisms have evolved into regulated cellular processes. Initially identified for inducing nonapoptotic, engulfment‐dependent cell death in vulval precursor cells, LIN‐24 has emerged as a multifunctional regulator of metabolism, stress

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Escaping Constraints to Innovate: Maternal Neofunctionalization in a HoxB4 Duplicate
Whole‐genome duplication in Xenopus laevis generated duplicated Hox genes that are largely constrained in sequence and developmental expression. However, HoxB4L uniquely acquired maternal expression through cis‐regulatory and protein structural divergence, illustrating how gene duplication enables transcription factors to escape pleiotropic constraints
