Conservation and change of the developmentally crucial fushi tarazu gene in Drosophila
We have studied the evolutionary changes occurring in the noncoding regions around the developmentally important fushi tarazu (ftz) gene in a total of 11 species in the genus Drosophila. Previous molecular develo...

Structure and regulation of the fushi tarazu gene from Drosophila hydei
The Drosophila melanogaster segmentation gene fushi tarazu (ftz) encodes a homeodomain-type transcription factor involved in the control of larval pattern formation. Loss of function mutations cause an embryonic ...

Green fluorescent protein as a convenient and versatile marker for studies on functional genomics in Drosophila
Gene function can be deduced from lack or gain of activity. For the manipulation of gene doses or activity in Drosophila, a set of P-based vectors was constructed containing green fluorescent protein as marker. ...

Conservation of the Notch antagonist Hairless in arthropods: functional analysis of the crustacean Daphnia pulex Hairless gene
The Notch signaling pathway is highly conserved in all animal metazoa: upon Notch receptor activation, transcription of Notch target genes is turned on by an activator complex that centers on the transcription...

The Notch repressor complex in Drosophila: in vivo analysis of Hairless mutants using overexpression experiments
During development of higher animals, the Notch signalling pathway governs cell type specification by mediating appropriate gene expression responses. In the absence of signalling, Notch target genes are silen...
