The Drosophila extra sex combs protein contains WD motifs essential for its function as a repressor of homeotic genes.

Mechanisms of development - 1 Jul 1995

Sathe S S, Harte P J

Abstract excerpt

Extra sex combs is a member of the Polycomb Group genes, whose products are required for stable long term transcriptional repression of the homeotic genes of the Bithorax and Antennapedia complexes. The Pc-G proteins are required to maintain the spatially restricted domains of homeotic gene expression established by the transiently expressed repressors, e.g., hunchback, but are not required for the functioning of...
