Homeodomain-independent activity of the fushi tarazu polypeptide in Drosophila embryos.

Nature - 16 Apr 1992

Fitzpatrick V D, Percival-Smith A, Ingles C J, Krause H M

Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila segmentation gene fushi tarazu (ftz) encodes a homeodomain-containing protein, ftz, that can act as a DNA-binding activator of transcription. In the developing embryo, ftz is expressed in seven stripes which correspond to the even-numbered parasegments. These parasegments are missing in ftz- embryos. When ftz is expressed throughout blastoderm embryos under the control of a heat-shock promoter, the...
