Fig. 2. The coordinately expressed brk, vnd and rho enhancers
share sequence motifs. Embryos in A, C and E express lacZ fusion
genes containing the enhancer sequences indicated in B (brk, 498 bp),
D (vnd, 348 bp) and F (rho NEE, 299 bp), respectively.
Reporter gene expression was visualized by in situ hybridization, as described
in Fig. 1. The three enhancers
direct similar lateral stripes of lacZ expression. Each enhancer
contains at least one copy of each of: CTGWCCY (indicated in green) and
binding sites for Dorsal (black), Su(H) (red) and Twist (CA-core E-box, blue).
Ventrolateral views of cellularizing embryos oriented with anterior to the
left and dorsal up are shown.
