Abstract excerpt
The homothorax (hth) gene is involved in multiple aspects of embryonic and adult fly development. It encodes a homeodomain-containing protein of the MEIS family and was shown to regulate the subcellular localization of the homeotic protein cofactor Extradenticle (EXD). The HTH protein contains a TALE class homeodomain and a conserved MH domain, which is required for its interaction with EXD. In this work, we...
