The stereotyped outgrowth of tubular branches of the Drosophila tracheal system is orchestrated by the local and highly dynamic expression profile of branchless (bnl), which encodes a secreted fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-like molecule. Despite the importance of the spatial and temporal bnl regulation, little is known about the upstream mechanisms that establish its complex expression pattern. Here, we show that the Extradenticle and Homothorax selector proteins control bnl transcription in a ...[more]
