In memoriam: A man for all eyes-Walter Gehring, 1939-2014
Developmental biologists eagerly desired to understand the molecular basis of development. The discovery of the Homeo domain in homeotic genes in Drosophila provided the means whereby a new era dawned in the field. Walter Gehring and his colleagues stunned the scientific world by identifying this 60-amino acid domain with DNA binding activity [1]. Soon, homeobox-containing genes were found in a...
متن کاملWalter Jakob Gehring (1939-2014)
Walter Jakob Gehring [3] discovered the homeobox [4], a DNA segment found in a specific cluster of genes [5] that determine the body plan of animals, plants, and fungi. Gehring identified the homeobox [4] in 1983, with the help of colleagues while isolating the Antennapedia (Antp) gene in fruit flies (Drosophila [6]) at the University of Basel [7] in Basel, Switzerland. Hox genes [8], a family ...

متن کاملFrom transdetermination to the homeodomain at atomic resolution. An interview with Walter J. Gehring.
Since the Swiss zoologist Ernst Hadorn first realized in the late 1940s that genes are crucial to the development of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster (and any other organism, that is), the field of developmental biology has undergone some dramatic changes. Before Hadorn’s revelation, genes were thought to be responsible only for traits such as eye colour or wing shape. In the early 1970s, ...
