Blocking cell division does not remove the requirement for Polycomb function in Drosophila embryogenesis.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Dec 1990

Gould A P, Lai R Y, Green M J, White R A

Abstract excerpt

The Polycomb (Pc) gene is required from the extended germ band stage onwards, to maintain spatially restricted patterns of homeotic gene expression. It has been thought to be involved in the 'stable inheritance of the determined state'. In this paper, we have tested the notion that the Pc gene is required specifically during or after DNA replication to enable the stable transmission of states of gene activity. We...
