High impact information on bft

  • Although bft transcripts do not obviously code for a protein product, its expression is abolished in bft deletion mutants, and the integrity of the bft locus is required for (interommatidial) bristle morphogenesis [1].
  • On the basis of these results, we propose that bft acts downstream of cut and tramtrack to implement correct bristle morphogenesis [1].
  • We also sought to determine what factors regulate the expression of bft and the enhancer trap line [1].
  • This suggests that disruption of the bft gene is the cause of the observed bristle phenotype [1].
