Temporal pattern of alcohol dehydrogenase gene transcription reproduced by Drosophila stage-specific embryonic extracts

Nature volume 331, pages 410–415 (1988)Cite this article

Abstract

Regulation of transcription during development has been analysed in vitro using extracts derived from Drosophila embryos. Transcription of mutant templates reveals cis- control regions of the alcohol dehydrogenase promoter responsible for temporal regulation. The activity of a transacting protein correlates with the profile of alcohol dehydrogenase expression during embryogenesis
