In vitro transcription of the Drosophila engrailed gene.

Abstract

An enzyme system that accurately initiates transcription of the engrailed gene has been prepared from Drosophila embryos. The system has been separated chromatographically into two fractions, both of which are required for specific engrailed transcription. DNase footprint and competition analysis detected at least two sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins in one of these two fractions. Together, these proteins bind to eight regions within 400 bp of the transcription initiation sites. Most of the regions containing these binding sites are required for manimal engrailed transcription in vitro. In addition, a region downstream from the initiation sites and within the first 40 residues of the transcription unit is essential for transcription. Transient in vivo expression assays indicated that these same upstream and downstream sequences are required for transcription in Drosophila tissue culture cells.

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.
