Function of the Trithorax-like gene during Drosophila development.

Developmental biology - 15 Apr 2004

Bejarano Fernando, Busturia Ana

Abstract excerpt

Maintenance of homeotic gene expression during Drosophila development relies on the Polycomb and the trithorax groups of genes. Classically, the Polycomb proteins act as repressors of homeotic gene function, whereas trithorax proteins function as activators. However, recent investigation has indicated that some of these maintenance genes may act both as repressors and activators. One of those is the Drosophila...
