Control of the spineless antennal enhancer: direct repression of antennal target genes by Antennapedia.
Developmental biology - 1 Nov 2010

Abstract excerpt
It is currently thought that antennal target genes are activated in Drosophila by the combined action of Distal-less, homothorax, and extradenticle, and that the Hox gene Antennapedia prevents activation of antennal genes in the leg by repressing homothorax. To test these ideas, we analyze a 62bp enhancer from the antennal gene spineless that is specific for the third antennal segment. This enhancer is activated...
