Homeodomain proteins: an update. [PDF]
Chromosoma, 2016 Here, we provide an update of our review on homeobox genes that we wrote together with Walter Gehring in 1994. Since then, comprehensive surveys of homeobox genes have become possible due to genome sequencing projects. Using the 103 Drosophila homeobox genes as example, we present an updated classification. In animals, there are 16 major classes, ANTP,

Regulation of Silk Genes by Hox and Homeodomain Proteins in the Terminal Differentiated Silk Gland of the Silkworm Bombyx mori [PDF]
Journal of Developmental Biology, 2016 The silk gland of the silkworm Bombyx mori is a long tubular organ that is divided into several subparts along its anteroposterior (AP) axis. As a trait of terminal differentiation of the silk gland, several silk protein genes are expressed with unique ...

Homeodomain proteins hierarchically specify neuronal diversity and synaptic connectivity [PDF]
eLifeHow our brain generates diverse neuron types that assemble into precise neural circuits remains unclear. Using Drosophila lamina neuron types (L1-L5), we show that the primary homeodomain transcription factor (HDTF) brain-specific homeobox (Bsh) is ...

Dissecting the homeodomain MAT locus and engineering novel tripolar and bipolar mating systems in Cryptococcus amylolentus [PDF]
mBioSex in fungi is governed by the mating-type (MAT) locus, which exists as a bipolar, pseudobipolar, or tetrapolar system. The significance and impact of MAT on sexual reproduction, however, remain understudied.

Zinc Finger Homeobox Transcription Factors OsMIF1 and OsMIF2 Regulate Grain Size and Panicle Development in Rice [PDF]
RiceMini zinc finger (MIF) proteins are plant-specific zinc finger-homeodomain (ZF-HD) transcription factors lacking a homeodomain, and its biological functions are critical for normal plant development and the response to environmental stress.

Molecular Analysis of the HOXA2-Dependent Degradation of RCHY1. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The homeodomain transcription factor Hoxa2 interacts with the RING-finger type E3 ubiquitin ligase RCHY1 and induces its proteasomal degradation. In this work, we dissected this non-transcriptional activity of Hoxa2 at the molecular level.
