Abstract excerpt
The segmental identity in animal development is determined by a set of homeotic selector genes clustered in the invertebrate HOM or vertebrate Hox homeo box complexes. These genes encode proteins with very similar homeodomains and highly diverged N- and C-terminal sequences. The Antennapedia (Antp) homeodomain, for instance, differs at only five amino acid positions from that of Sex combs reduced (Scr) protein....
