Beadex encodes an LMO protein that regulates Apterous LIM-homeodomain activity in Drosophila wing development: a model for LMO oncogene function
Article Abstract:
LIM-homeodomain protein Apterous (AP) activity is essential to formation of the dorsal-ventral axis of the wing in Drosophila. The Ap activity levels are modulated by dLMO,a protein, which is encoded by the Beadex (Bx) gene. The dominant interference mechanism of dLMO action may be a suitable model for the way LMO oncogenes bring on leukemia and lymphoma when they are misexpressed in T cells.
