The Drosophila homeotic gene moira regulates expression of engrailed and HOM genes in imaginal tissues
moira is a member of the trithorax group of homeotic gene regulators in Drosophila melanogaster. We show that moira is required for the function of multiple homeotic genes of the Antennapedia and bithorax complexes (HOM genes) in most imaginal tissues and that the requirement for moira function is at the level of transcription. moira is also required for transcription of the engrailed segmentat...
متن کاملEctopic expression of homeotic genes caused by the elimination of the Polycomb gene in Drosophila imaginal epidermis.
The morphological patterns in the adult cuticle of Drosophila are determined principally by the homeotic genes of the bithorax and Antennapedia complexes. We find that many of these genes become indiscriminately active in the adult epidermis when the Pc gene is eliminated. By using the Pc3 mutation and various BX-C mutant combinations, we have generated clones of imaginal cells possessing diffe...
متن کاملThe relationship of decapentaplegic and engrailed expression in Drosophila imaginal disks: do these genes mark the anterior-posterior compartment boundary?
Imaginal disks, the primordia of the adult appendages in Drosophila, are divided into anterior and posterior compartments. However, the developmental role of such compartments remains unclear. The expression of decapentaplegic (dpp), a pattern formation gene required for imaginal disk development, has the intriguing property of being expressed in a line at or near the boundary between these com...
متن کاملModifying expression of the engrailed gene of Drosophila melanogaster.
The engrailed gene is required for segmentation of the Drosophila embryo and is expressed in cells constituting the posterior developmental compartments. In mutant embryos lacking engrailed function, portions of the cuticular pattern in each segment are deleted, resulting in fusion of adjacent denticle bands. Using P-element-mediated transposition, we generated flies that express the engrailed ...
