The Drosophila proneural gene amos promotes olfactory sensillum formation and suppresses bristle formation.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Oct 2003

Abstract excerpt

Proneural genes encode basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors required for neural precursor specification. Recently amos was identified as a new candidate Drosophila proneural gene related to atonal. Having isolated the first specific amos loss-of-function mutations, we show definitively that amos is required to specify the precursors of two classes of olfactory sensilla. Unlike other known proneural...
