Abstract:
Using a series of deletion mutants of BarH1, a Drosophila homeobox gene required for eye morphogenesis, the DNA-binding region of the BarH1 protein was determined. Not only homeodomain but also its upstream sequence were found to be necessary for binding, whereas about a half of the conserved downstream sequence (Bar domain) was dispensable.
