Abstract excerpt
The importance in downstream target regulation of tertiary structure and DNA binding specificity of the protein encoded by the vndNK-2 homeobox gene is analyzed. The ectopic expression patterns of WT and four mutant vndNK-2 genes are analyzed together with expression of two downstream target genes, ind and msh, which are down-regulated by vndNK-2. Three mutants are deletions of conserved regions (i.e., tinman...
