Abstract excerpt
The grauzone and cortex genes are required for the completion of meiosis in Drosophila oocytes. The grauzone gene encodes a C2H2-type zinc-finger transcription factor that binds to the cortex promoter and is necessary for high-level activation of cortex transcription. Here we define the region of the cortex promoter to which Grauzone binds and show that the binding occurs through the C-terminal, zinc-finger-rich...
