Drosophila NK-homeobox genes.

Abstract

Four Drosophila melanogaster homeobox genes were found by screening a genomic DNA library with oligodeoxynucleotides that correspond to a conserved amino acid sequence that is part of the putative of homeobox proteins that recognizes nucleotide sequences in DNA. The amino acid sequences of NK-2, NK-3, and NK-4 homeoboxes are more closely related to one another (59-66% homology) than they are to other Drosophila homeoboxes (28-54% homology), whereas the homeobox of NK-1 is most closely related, in order of decreasing homology, to muscle segment homeobox, zerknüllt-1, NK-3, and distal-less homeoboxes. Three of the genes, NK-1, NK-3, and NK-4, comprise a cluster of homeobox genes located in the 93E1-5 region of the right arm of the third chromosome, whereas the fourth homeobox gene, NK-2, is located in the 1C1-5 region of the X chromosome.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
