...David Foronda; Beatriz Estrada; Luis de Navas; Ernesto Sánchez-Herrero The genitalia of Drosophila derive from the genital disc and require the activity of the Abdominal-B ( Abd-B ) Hox gene. This gene encodes two different proteins, Abd-B M and Abd-B R. We show here that the embryonic genital...

... that the formation of a morphologically and molecularly distinct heart depends crucially upon the homeotic segmentation gene abdominal-A ( abd-A ). abd-A expression in the dorsal vessel was detected only in the heart, and overexpression of abd-A induced heart fate in the aorta in a cell-autonomous manner. Mutation...

...David Bilder; Yacine Graba; Matthew P. Scott ABSTRACT Hox genes have large expression domains yet control the formation of fine pattern elements at specific locations. We have examined the mechanism underlying subdivision of the abdominal-A (abdA) Hox domain in the visceral mesoderm. AbdA directs...

..., Engrailed and Ultrabithorax/Abdominal-A during polyembryonic development. Here we show that in spite of the absence of a syncytium, the elements of the D. melanogaster segmentation hierarchy are conserved. The segment-polarity gene Engrailed and the homeotic genes Ultrabithorax/Abdominal-A are expressed...

... we have expressed the Ultrabithorax, abdominal-A and Abdominal-Bm proteins at different times during development using the GAL4 targeting technique. We find that early transient homeotic gene expression has no lasting effects on the differentiation of the larval epidermis, but it switches the fate...

...Kohji Ueno; Chi-Chung Hui; Masakazu Fukuta; Yoshiaki Suzuki ABSTRACT The E loci in Bombyx mori are expected to contain a homeotic gene complex specifying the identities of the larval abdominal segments. However, the molecular structure of this complex remains to be determined. We have started...

The predicted amino acid sequence of a 76 amino acid region that includes the homeobox and the regions immediately flanking it are identical between the Manduca and Drosophila genes. Northern blots reveal that the Manduca abd-A gene...
