Early Antennapedia gene Family : Evidence from Trichoplax genome
Homeodomain containing transcription factors are vital for proper development and differentiation in animals, plants and fungi. This 60 amino acid conserved DNA binding motif is found in six different class of proteins: ANTP, PRD, POU, LIM, SIX and TALE. Huge gene diversity in Antennapedia class of homeodomain proteins account for evolution of body plans, regulation… Read More »
