Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila segment-polarity gene fused (fu) is required for pattern formation within embryonic segments and imaginal discs. We previously reported that the 5' part of the fused gene is homologous to the catalytic domain of serine/threonine kinases. We present here the sequence of the complete transcription unit, which predicts a 805 amino acid long protein. The kinase domain actually corresponds to 268 amino...
