Abstract

The E(spl) locus is thought to participate in a cell interaction mechanism that controls the choice of many cell fates during Drosophila development, including the segregation of neural precursors. Previous studies have demonstrated that E(spl) is defined by two groups of closely related transcripts, (i) a cluster of three transcripts encoding proteins bearing a helix-loop-helix (HLH) motif and (ii) a single-copy gene encoding a nuclear protein containing repeated motifs first identified in the beta subunit of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins. Both groups interact genetically with the Notch locus, which codes for a transmembrane protein. We report the structure of four additional HLH-encoding genes that reside in the E(spl) complex and provide evidence that we have now identified all the remaining members of the E(spl) HLH cluster.

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.
