High impact information on gus

  • Promoter deletion analysis using constructs employing the reporter gene gus were stably transferred into tobacco and revealed that the fully functional promoter is found in the first 316bp upstream from the start codon [1].
  • A gus mutation blocks posterior localization of VAS, as does deletion of a segment of VAS containing the GUS binding site [2].
  • However, gus is not required for the posterior localization of oskar (osk) [2].
  • Heterozygotes for gus or a deletion including gus produce embryos with fewer pole cells and posterior patterning defects [2].
  • Apparent gus orthologs are present in mammalian genomes [2].
 

Other interactions of gus

  • We identified a gene, gustavus (gus), that encodes a protein that interacts with VAS [2].
