摘要：
We have cloned a novel Drosophila melanogaster homeobox (Hbox) containing gene, NK-7.1 (Dm.HboxNK-7.1), which is located at 88B3 on the chromosome map, and is 1.5 kb downstream of the spn-B gene. The newly identified gene is expressed at high levels in the embryo, is switched off during larval and pupal stages, and is expressed again in the adult. The Hbox is highly similar to NK-1/S59 (Drosophila) and NK-3/bap (Drosophila). The amino acid (aa) identity ratios (%) were 58 between NK-7.1 and NK-1/S59, and between NK-7.1 and NK-3/bap. The other characteristic structures are the presence of homopolymeric aa stretches consisting of Q, N, and E.
