Developmental biology - 25 May 1996

Abstract excerpt
The segregation of founder cells from the somatic mesoderm is a prerequisite for the formation of body wall muscles in the Drosophila embryo. The myogenic basic helix-loop-helix protein, Nautilus (Nau), is expressed in a subset of these founder cells in medial and lateral positions in the somatic mesoderm. Mutations in the wingless (wg) gene, which encodes a secreted growth factor, lead to the complete loss of...
