Abstract excerpt
The recessive mouse mutation kreisler affects hindbrain segmentation and inner ear development in homozygous mice. The mouse gene affected by the mutation was found to encode a basic domain leucine-zipper (bZIP)-type transcription factor of the Maf-family named kr (Cordes, S.P. and Barsh, G.S. (1994) Cell 79, 1025-1034). The avian bZIP transcription factor mafB, which shows high homology to kr, has been...
