Abstract excerpt
A conserved network of eye field transcription factors (EFTFs) underlies the development of the eye in vertebrates and invertebrates. To direct eye development, Pax6, a key gene in this network, interacts with genes encoding other EFTFs such as Rx1 and Six3 (refs 4-6). However, the mechanisms that control expression of the EFTFs remain unclear. Here we show that purine-mediated signalling triggers both EFTF...
