Abstract excerpt
Deformed (Dfd), a homeotic selector gene required for segment identity in the head, and the Broad-Complex (BR-C), a steroid hormone-regulated locus required for metamorphosis of the epidermis and multiple internal tissues, are members of distinct genetic regulatory hierarchies. Their protein products contain DNA-binding domains (of the homeodomain and zinc-finger variety, respectively) and are believed to act by...
