Expression of a MyoD family member prefigures muscle pattern in Drosophila embryos.

Genes & development - 1 Dec 1990

Abstract excerpt

We have isolated a Drosophila gene that is expressed in a temporal and spatial pattern during embryogenesis, strongly suggesting an important role for this gene in the early development of muscle. This gene, which we have named nautilus (nau), encodes basic and helix-loop-helix domains that display striking sequence similarity to those of the vertebrate myogenic regulatory gene family. nau transcripts are...
