Abstract excerpt
The embryonic hindbrain is subdivided into eight subunits, termed rhombomeres (r1-r8). The Kreisler (Krml1/MafB/val) transcription factor is expressed in and essential for patterning rhombomeres 5 and 6. Here, we have shown that in the chemically induced kreisler(enu) (kr(enu)) allele, a point mutation in the DNA binding domain abolishes or severely reduces Kreisler-dependent transcription. Comparison of...
