THE POLYCOMB AND TRITHORAX GROUP PROTEINS OF DROSOPHILA: Trans-Regulators of Homeotic Gene Function
Abstract
The Polycomb and trithorax group genes encode trans-regulators of homeotic gene function in Drosophila. The Polycomb group genes encode transcriptional repressors, while the trithorax group proteins are positive factors required for homeotic gene function. Among the Polycomb group proteins, the POLYCOMB protein has been most extensively characterized. The POLYCOMB protein contains a chromodomain, a conserved domain found in a Drosophila protein with effects on position-effect variegation. Among the trithorax group proteins characterized, the BRAHMA protein appears to be a subunit of a protein complex conserved from yeast to man (the SNF/SWI complex) that modifies chromatin to facilitate the transcriptional activation by gene-specific DNA-binding proteins. The ZESTE protein may help to activate transcription by bringing distant cis-regulatory elements closer to promoter-bound proteins.

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.
