Mad | Mothers against dpp (Mad) encodes the primary transcription factor that mediates cellular response to the BMP like ligands encoded by dpp, scw and gbb. Upon phosphorylation by either the products of sax or tkv (type I BMP receptors), it forms a complex with the product of Med and translocates to the nucleus where, together with cofactors, it regulates expression of BMP response target genes; Belongs to the dwarfin/SMAD family.

srp | Box A-binding factor; May function as a transcriptional activator protein and may play a key role in the organogenesis of the fat body. Binds a sequence element (5'-[TA]GATAA-3') found in the larval promoters of all known alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) genes. Acts as a homeotic gene downstream of the terminal gap gene HKB to promote morphogenesis and differentiation of anterior and posterior midgut. (1264 aa) |
