Exploiting position effects and the gypsy retrovirus insulator to engineer precisely expressed transgenes
(2008)A major obstacle to creating precisely expressed transgenes lies in the epigenetic effects of the host chromatin that surrounds them. Here we present a strategy to overcome this problem, employing a Gal4-inducible luciferase ...

Groucho mediates a Ci-independent mechanism of hedgehog repression in the anterior wing pouch
(2001)Groucho (Gro) is the founding member of a family of transcriptional co-repressors that are recruited by a number of different transcription factors. Drosophila has a single gro gene, whose loss of function affects processes ...

Hedgehog restricts its expression domain in the Drosophila wing
(2007)The stable subdivision of Drosophila limbs into anterior and posterior compartments is a consequence of asymmetrical signalling by Hedgehog (Hh), from the posterior to anterior cells. The activity of the homeodomain protein ...

Neuralized Encodes a Peripheral Membrane Protein Involved in Delta Signaling and Endocytosis
(2001)Activation of the Notch (N) receptor involves an intracellular proteolytic step triggered by shedding of the extracellular N domain (N-EC) upon ligand interaction. The ligand Dl has been proposed to effect this N-EC shedding ...
