The role of buttonhead and Sp1 in the development of the ventral imaginal discs of Drosophila.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Dec 2003

Estella Carlos, Rieckhof Gabrielle, Calleja Manuel, Morata Ginés

Abstract excerpt

The related genes buttonhead (btd) and Drosophila Sp1 (the Drosophila homologue of the human SP1 gene) encode zinc-finger transcription factors known to play a developmental role in the formation of the Drosophila head segments and the mechanosensory larval organs. We report a novel function of btd and Sp1: they induce the formation and are required for the growth of the ventral imaginal discs. They act as...
