Abstract excerpt
We have characterized the Drosophila bancal gene, which encodes a Drosophila homologue of the vertebrate hnRNP K protein. The bancal gene is essential for the correct size of adult appendages. Reduction of appendage size in bancal mutant flies appears to be due mainly to a reduction in the number of cell divisions in the imaginal discs. Transgenes expressing Drosophila or human hnRNP K are able to rescue weak...
