Abstract excerpt
The GAGA, NTF-1, and zeste proteins have been purified previously from Drosophila embryo extracts and shown to activate the Ultrabithorax (Ubx) promoter in vitro. Here, differently mutated Ubx-promoter constructs containing binding sites for none, one, or all three of these transcription factors...
