Abstract excerpt
The single-minded gene functions as a master developmental regulator within the midline cell lineage of the embryonic central nervous system of Drosophila melanogaster. Genetic experiments suggest that Single-minded can function as a transcriptional activator. Regions of the Single-minded protein were fused to the DNA binding domain of the mammalian transcription factor Sp1 and shown to activate transcription...
