Mutations within the Ddc promoter alter its neuron-specific pattern of expression.

Developmental biology - 1 Aug 1991

Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila dopa decarboxylase gene (Ddc) is expressed in a reproducible set of approximately 150 neurons, and in a subset of the glia of the third instar larva's central nervous system (CNS). Expression in this pattern requires a cell type-specific neuronal enhancer/glial repressor region located 1000 bp from the transcriptional start site, and specific sequences within the promoter. We have used mutagenesis...
