We previously reported cloning of the Drosophila mitochondrial transcription factor A (D-mtTFA) gene, and characterization of a recombinant protein. In this report, the expression and distribution patterns of D-mtTFA during development are describ...
We succeeded in cloning the gene, termed d-ddb1, for a Drosophila homolog of the p127 subunit of the human damage-specific DNA-binding protein, thought to recognize (6-4) photoproducts and related structures. In Drosophila, the gene product (D-DDB...

In a yeast two-hybrid screen to identify proteins that bind to the KIX domain of the coactivator p300, we obtained cDNAs encoding nucleosome assembly protein 1 (NAP-1), a 60-kDa histone H2A-H2B shuttling protein that promotes histone deposition. p...

We have successfully generated a Drosophila model of human polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases by the targeted expression of expanded-polyQ (ex-polyQ) in the Drosophila compound eye, The resulting eye degeneration is progressive and ex-polyQ dosage- an...

The promoters of <italic>Drosophila</italic> genes encoding DNA replication-related proteins contain transcription regulatory element DRE (5′-TATCGATA) in addition to E2F recognition sites. A specific DRE-binding factor, D...

Here we show that Armadillo and Pangolin (dTCF), downstream effectors of the Wingless (Wg) signal transduction pathway, activate transcription of the important DNA replication-related genes encoding Drosophila proliferating cell nuclear antigen (P...
