Identification of targets of Ultrabithorax

ABSTRACT: The identity of every segment in the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster is determined by the action of one or more homeotic selector genes. These genes encode proteins containing DNA-binding domains and function by regulating downstream target genes. The structure and function of homeotic genes are highly conserved across a wide range of animals including human. Although much information is available on the molecular and biochemical nature of homeotic genes, comparatively little is known regarding the mechanism/s that are used to generate segmental diversity. This series of experiments were carried out to determine targets of the homeotic gene Ultrabithorax.
