Abstract excerpt
The derailed (drl) gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that governs aspects of axon guidance and muscle-epidermal interactions in the Drosophila embryo. To determine the types of neurons that express drl, we have examined a series of drl promoter fusions to axon-targeted reporters. We have identified enhancers that drive reporter expression in four distinct subtypes of embryonic neurons, all of which...
