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.

GATA-binding factor A; Transcriptional regulator involved in several developmental processes during embryonic and imaginal disks development. Involved in determining dorsal cell fate. Acts as an essential transcriptional regulator of proneural achaete-scute complex (AS-C) and is required for its spatial regulation during development of the adult peripheral nervous system, and hence for the positioning of neural precursors. It is the only factor to directly activate AS-C genes.

Pebbled, isoform A; Pebbled (peb) encodes a protein that acts as a tissue-specific transcriptional attenuator. It contributes to embryonic morphogenesis and development of ovary, retina and respiratory system.

Tailup, isoform A; Tailup (tup) encodes a transcription factor that regulates neuronal sub-type identity, including motor, serotonergic and dopaminergic neuron identity. It regulates germ band retraction, dorsal closure, muscle and heart development.

GATAd, isoform A; DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; zinc ion binding; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding. It is involved in the biological process described with: negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; cell fate commitment; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II.

G protein-coupled receptor ligand; Coordinates cell shape changes during formation of the ventral furrow and invagination of the posterior midgut primordium, by inducing apical constriction of cells in spatially and temporally defined manners. Could function as a secreted signal to initiate apical constriction by acting as a ligand for an unidentified G protein- coupled receptor, which in turn activates the G protein alpha subunit encoded by concertina, in neighboring cells. Such an intracellular pathway would ultimately induce contraction of the apical actin-myosin network. In the ven [...]

Protein lozenge; Involved in prepatterning photoreceptor precursors in the developing eye; in the larval eye disk it defines a subset of cells as an equipotential group that is competent to respond to the sevenless developmental signal and another subset that confer proper photoreceptor identity by positively regulating the homeo box gene Bar. Involved in the aop/pnt dynamic in a Ras-dependent manner to regulate pros expression. Promotes apoptosis in the pupal eye by directly activating aos and klu. Also modulates hid- and rpr-mediated cell death. Regulates amos function in olfactory s [...]

Transcription factor dGATAe; GATAe (GATAe) encodes a endoderm-specific GATA factor. It regulates endoderm differentiation and intestinal stem cell maintenance.

Protein decapentaplegic; Required during oogenesis for eggshell patterning and dorsal/ventral patterning of the embryo. Acts as a morphogen during embryogenesis to pattern the dorsal/ventral axis, specifying dorsal ectoderm and amnioserosa cell fate within the dorsal half of the embryo; this activity is antagonized by binding to sog and tsg. Induces the formation of visceral mesoderm and the heart in early embryos. Required later in embryogenesis for dorsal closure and patterning of the hindgut. Also functions postembryonically as a long-range morphogen during imaginal disk development [...]
