Abstract excerpt
The POU homeodomain protein UNC-86 and the LIM homeodomain protein MEC-3 are essential for the differentiation of the six mechanoreceptor neurons in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Previous studies have indicated that UNC-86 and MEC-3 bind cooperatively to at least three sites in the mec-3 promoter and synergistically activate transcription. However, the molecular details of the interactions of UNC-86 with...
