Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila drifter (dfr) gene, previously referred to as Cf1a, encodes a POU-domain DNA-binding protein implicated as a neuron-specific regulator in the developing central nervous system (CNS). We have isolated full-length dfr cDNA clones that encode a 46-kD protein containing the conserved POU-domain DNA-binding domain. The use of alternate polyadenylation sites produces two dfr mRNA transcripts that are...
