How does the fushi tarazu gene activate engrailed in the Drosophila embryo?

Developmental genetics - 1 Jan 1998

Lawrence P A, Pick L

Abstract excerpt

In the even-numbered parasegments of the Drosophila embryo, expression of the fushi tarazu (ftz) gene is necessary for transcription of engrailed (en). Yet those cells expressing ftz+ in a stripe, only the anteriormost come to express en. One explanation is that the level of ftz+ might be graded across the stripe and in order to express en, it would be sufficient for cells to exceed a threshold concentration of...
