Trans- and cis-acting requirements for blastodermal expression of the head gap gene buttonhead.

Mechanisms of development - 1 Oct 1995

Wimmer E A, Simpson-Brose M, Cohen S M, Desplan C, Jäckle H

Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila gene buttonhead (btd) encodes a zinc-finger protein related to the human transcription factor Sp1. btd is expressed in the syncytial blastoderm embryo in a stripe covering the anlagen of the antennal, intercalary and mandibular head segments. btd has been characterized as a head gap gene, since these segments are deleted in btd mutant embryos. We report here that the cis-acting elements required...
