Lethal of scute, a proneural gene, participates in the specification of muscle progenitors during Drosophila embryogenesis.

Genes & development - 1 Oct 1995

Carmena A, Bate M, Jiménez F

Abstract excerpt

The mechanisms that underlie the segregation of muscle founder cells in the Drosophila embryo are undefined. We show that the proneural gene lethal of scute (l'sc) is expressed in clusters of cells in the somatic mesoderm, from which individual muscle progenitors are singled out by progressive restriction of l'sc expression. Coexpression of l'sc and S59 (a putative muscle identity gene) in a subset of muscle...
