Evolution and aggregulates: role of the Polycomb-group genes of Drosophila.

Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie III, Sciences de la vie - 1 Oct 1993

Santamaria P

Abstract excerpt

The Polycomb-group (Pc-G) genes of Drosophila melanogaster are responsible for fixation of the repressed state for other selector genes, mostly homeotic but not exclusively. Different arguments suggest that they work cooperatively by specific recognition and structural modification of their targets. Their pleiotropic mutant phenotypes are strikingly similar to morphological traits used to classify Dipteran...
