abd-A | Homeobox protein abdominal-A; Sequence-specific transcription factor which is part of a developmental regulatory system that provides cells with specific positional identities on the anterior-posterior axis. Required for segmental identity of the second through eighth abdominal segments. Once a pattern of abd-A expression is turned on in a given parasegment, it remains on the more posterior parasegment, so that the complex pattern of expression is built up in the successive parasegments. Appears to repress expression of Ubx whenever they appear in the same cell, but abd-A is repressed [...] (590 aa) | ||||
ro | Homeobox protein rough; Required to establish the unique cell identity of photoreceptors R2 and R5 and consequently for ommatidial assembly in the developing eye imaginal disk. Repression of expression in R8 photoreceptor by senseless (sens) is an essential mechanism of R8 cell fate determination. (350 aa) |
