Abstract excerpt

The two genes vestigial (vg) and scalloped (sd) are required for wing development in Drosophila melanogaster. They present similar patterns of expression in second and third instar wing discs and similar wing mutant phenotypes. vg encodes a nuclear protein without any recognized nucleic acid-binding motif. Sd is a transcription factor homologous to the human TEF-1 factor whose promoter activity depends on...
