Abstract excerpt
Drosophila melanogaster neurogenesis requires the opposing activities of two sets of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins: proneural proteins, which confer on cells the ability to become neural precursors, and the Enhancer-of-split [E(spl)] proteins, which restrict such potential as part of the lateral inhibition process. Here, we test if E(spl) proteins function as promoter-bound repressors by examining the...
