The Lawc protein is required for proper transcription by RNA polymerase II in Drosophila.

Molecular genetics and genomics : MGG - 1 Nov 2008

Brandt Tracy, Corces Victor G

Abstract excerpt

Genetic analysis of the Drosophila leg-arista-wing complex (lawc) gene suggests a role for the Lawc protein in chromatin-related processes based on its classification as a trxG gene but the molecular mechanisms of its function remain elusive. We have found that Lawc is a small, cysteine-rich protein that is present in most of the interbands of polytene chromosomes. In agreement with this observation, Lawc...
