hth | Homeobox protein homothorax; All isoforms are required for patterning of the embryonic cuticle. Acts with exd to delimit the eye field and prevent inappropriate eye development. Isoforms that carry the homeodomain are required for proper localization of chordotonal organs within the peripheral nervous system and antennal identity; required to activate antennal-specific genes, such as sal and to repress the leg-like expression of dac. Necessary for the nuclear localization of the essential HOX cofactor, extradenticle (exd). Both necessary and sufficient for inner photoreceptors to adopt [...] (487 aa) | ||||
Pof | Protein painting of fourth; Probable RNA-binding protein that specifically binds to the fourth chromosome and may bind an RNA that spreads the fourth chromosome. May be a reminiscence of X chromosome dosage compensation of ancestral Drosophila species in which the X and the fourth chromosomes are one single chromosome. (495 aa) |
