Abstract excerpt
Skeletal muscle formation in Drosophila melanogaster requires two types of myoblasts, muscle founders and fusion-competent myoblasts. Lame duck (Lmd), a member of the Gli superfamily of transcription factors, is essential for the specification and differentiation of fusion-competent myoblasts. We report herein that appropriate levels of active Lmd protein are attained by a combination of posttranscriptional...
