Protein deadpan; Transcriptional repressor of genes that require a bHLH protein for their transcription. In the larval brain, required to maintain the self- renewal and identity of type II neuroblasts by regulating the expression of the transcriptional repressor erm together with other self-renewal transcriptional repressors such as klu and E(spl)mgamma- HLH. As part of its role in neuroblasts development, has been shown to be a direct target of the Notch signaling pathway, however might work also independently of N/Notch. In the developing larval and pupal brain, required for mushroom [...]

Fez family zinc finger protein erm; Zinc-finger transcriptional repressor. In larval brain, involved in the maintenance of cell fate of intermediate neural progenitors (INPs) that derive from type II neuroblasts. Restricts INP developmental potential and dedifferentiation by interacting with HDAC3 and the chromatin remodeling Brahma-associated protein (BAP) complex. Restricts INP proliferation by regulating neuroblast specific factors such as prospero, pnt and grh, and by antagonizing the function of self-renewal factors, such as klu, dpn and E(spl)mgamma-HLH. In the optic lobe, essent [...]

Inscuteable (insc) encodes an adaptor protein required for asymmetric cell division. It interacts with the microtubule binding protein encoded by mud and the adaptor encoded by pins. It also binds to the apical complex proteins encoded by baz, par-6 and aPKC and may recruit microtubule binding proteins to the apical cell cortex to induce apical-basal spindle orientation.

Protein atonal; Developmental protein involved in neurogenesis. Required for the formation of chordotonal organs and photoreceptors. Seems to bind to E boxes. Specifically required for the photoreceptor R8 selection.

Achaete-scute complex protein T4; AS-C proteins are involved in the determination of the neuronal precursors in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. Also involved in sex determination and dosage compensation.

Enhancer of split mgamma protein; Transcriptional repressor of genes that require a bHLH protein for their transcription. May serve as a transcriptional regulator of the Achaete-scute complex (AS-C) genes. Contributes to the neural-epidermal lineage decision during early neurogenesis. Part of the Notch signaling pathway, plays a role in neuroblasts proliferation in embryos and larvae. In the larval brain, together with other self-renewal transcriptional repressors such as klu and dpn, required for type II neuroblast self-renewal and for maintaining erm in an inactive state in intermedi [...]

Protein escargot; Transcription factor that can both stimulate and repress transcription. Binds to the consensus DNA sequence 5'-A/GCAGGTG-3'. Regulates cell motility and adhesion during tracheal morphogenesis by stimulating transcription of the DE-cadherin gene shg at branch tips, thereby promoting tracheal tube fusion. Maintains diploidy in imaginal cells by inhibiting the transcription of genes required for endoreplication. Required for development of the genital disk and acts as an intrinsic determinant of wing cell fate. The somatic protein is required for maintenance of male germ [...]

Miranda, isoform A; Miranda (mira) encodes a cytoplasmic and cortical scaffolding protein that binds the products of pros, stau and brat. It is asymmetrically localized to the basal cortex during neuroblast asymmetric cell division, resulting in its partioning into GMC daughter cells, where it is degraded and releases its cargo proteins.
