The product of the fushi tarazu (ftz) gene is shown to be a site-dependent activator of transcription. In vitro-defined binding sites act as ftz-dependent enhancers in cultured cells. Another homoeodomain-containing protein, the engrailed gene product, competes for homoeodomain-binding sites and counteracts ftz activation.
腹节基因(ftz)的产物被证明是一种依赖于位点的转录激活因子。体外定义的结合位点在培养细胞中作为依赖于ftz的增强子发挥作用。另一种含同源异型结构域的蛋白质,即engrailed基因产物,竞争同源异型结构域结合位点并抵消ftz的激活作用。
