Multitype zinc-finger proteins of the Friend of GATA/U-shaped (Ush) class function as transcriptional regulators of gene expression through their modulation of GATA factor activity. To better understand intrinsic properties of these proteins, we investigated the expression and function of the ush gene during Drosophila embryogenesis. ush is dynamically expressed in ... More
