- 20 December 1991
Development of the Drosophila CNS midline cells is dependent upon the function of the single-minded (sim) gene. Sequence analysis shows that sim is a member of the basic-helix-loop-helix class of… Expand

The embryonic neuroepithelium of Drosophila gives rise to the central nervous system. We have studied the mutant phenotype and expression of a gene, single-minded (sim), which is involved in… Expand

The Drosophila single-minded and trachealess bHLH-PAS genes control transcription and development of the CNS midline cell lineage and tracheal tubules, respectively. We show that Single-minded and… Expand
Functional Interactions between DrosophilabHLH/PAS, Sox, and POU Transcription Factors Regulate CNS Midline Expression of the slit Gene
During Drosophila embryogenesis the CNS midline cells have organizing activities that are required for proper elaboration of the axon scaffold and differentiation of neighboring neuroectodermal and… Expand
The single-minded gene of Drosophila is required for the expression of genes important for the development of CNS midline cells
The single-minded (sim) gene of Drosophila encodes a nuclear protein that plays a critical role in the development of the neurons, glia, and other nonneuronal cells that lie along the midline of the… Expand
The spineless-aristapedia and tango bHLH-PAS proteins interact to control antennal and tarsal development in Drosophila.

The Drosophila spineless (ss) gene encodes a basic-helix-loop-helix-PAS transcription factor that is required for proper specification of distal antennal identity, establishment of the tarsal regions… Expand
The Drosophila abrupt gene encodes a BTB-zinc finger regulatory protein that controls the specificity of neuromuscular connections.

Motor axons make synaptic connections with specific muscles, and this specificity unfolds during development as motoneuron growth cones make specific pathway choices and ultimately recognize and… Expand
The Drosophila single-minded gene encodes a nuclear protein with sequence similarity to the per gene product

- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 15 January 1988
Mutations in the single-minded (sim) gene of Drosophila result in the loss of the precursor cells giving rise to the midline cells of the embryonic central nervous system. We have examined the… Expand
