Identification of a novel cis-acting positive element responsible for the cell-specific expression of the NK-1 homeobox gene.

Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila NK-1 homeobox gene belongs to the NK-1 class that includes a large number of vertebrate homeobox genes and is shown to be expressed in specific muscle founder cells and a subset of neuronal cells in the ventral nerve cord during embryogenesis. To determine the cis-acting regulatory elements controlling the cell-specific expression of NK-1, we measured transiently expressed chloramphencol acetyl...
