Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila mophogenetic protein Bicoid (Bcd) can activate transcription in a concentration-dependent manner in embryos. It contains a self-inhibitory domain that can interact with the co-repressor Sin3A. In this report, we study a Bcd mutant, Bcd(A57-61), which has a strengthened self-inhibitory function and is unable to activate the hb-CAT reporter in Drosophila cells, to analyze the role of co-factors in...
