Article

The Drosophila doublesex proteins share a novel zinc finger related DNA binding domain.

The EMBO journal - 1 Feb 1993

Erdman S E, Burtis K C

Abstract excerpt

The doublesex gene of Drosophila melanogaster is the final member of a well characterized hierarchy of genes that controls somatic sex determination and differentiation. The male-specific and female-specific doublesex polypeptides occupy a terminal position in the hierarchy, and thus regulate tho...
