Abstract excerpt
Recent data demonstrate a structural and functional conservation of factors crucial for the development of the insect and the vertebrate eye. We isolated Xenopus siah-2, a protein with 67% identity to Drosophila sina (seven in absentia) and 85% identity to the mouse and human siah-2 proteins. Sina is required in Drosophila for the R7 photoreceptor cell formation during eye development, because it down regulates...
