Gandalf and Aragorn lead the World of Men against Saurons army to draw his gaze from Frodo and Sam as they approach Mount Doom with the One Ring. With Noel Appleby, Ali Astin, Sean Astin, David Aston. Where most blockbuster heroes save the day through feats of will, strength in combat, or other brute-force approaches, Frodo finds strength not. Based on these observations, we propose that Frodo and Dapper link Dsh and TCF to regulate Wnt target genes in a pathway parallel to that of beta-catenin. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: Directed by Peter Jackson. In Frodo, Sam, and the rest of the close-knit Lord of the Rings characters, audiences are shown that it’s OK to rely on others, to externalize your feelings, and to show affection, even to other men. Whereas the C terminus of Frodo binds Dishevelled, we demonstrate that the conserved N-terminal domain associates with TCF3. Embryos depleted of either gene showed a decreased transcriptional response to TCF3-VP16, a beta-catenin-independent transcriptional activator. In the mesoderm, Frodo and Dapper were essential for the expression of the organizer genes chordin, cerberus and Xnr3, but they were not necessary for the expression of siamois and goosecoid, established targets of beta-catenin signaling. By contrast, beta-catenin was not required for pan-neural marker expression, but was involved in the control of the anteroposterior patterning. Both genes were cell-autonomously required for neural tissue formation, as defined by the pan-neural markers sox2 and nrp1. We show that Frodo and the closely related Dapper synergistically regulate head development and morphogenesis. To understand further how Frodo functions, we have analyzed its role in neural development using specific morpholino antisense oligonucleotides. Frodo is a novel conserved regulator of Wnt signaling that has been identified by its association with Dishevelled, an intracellular component of Wnt signal transduction. Frodo Baggins is the main (or one of several, in any case) protagonist of The Lord of the Rings a mild-mannered Hobbit from the Shire thrown into a universe filled with dark magic, violent orcs, and a ring that just can't stop trying to tempt him.
