Abstract excerpt
In certain cases, homeobox genes with different in vivo roles encode proteins with similar in vitro DNA binding specificities. To test the role of the homeobox in the regulatory specificity of such genes, rough homeobox sequences were changed in part or entirely to those of the Deformed gene, and the modified rough genes tested for their ability to rescue the rough mutant phenotype. Surprisingly, the chimaeric...
