pb [Search on AGR]
Drosophila melanogaster proboscipedia (pb) encodes a conserved homeodomain transcription factor. Its role in regional head development, from insects to mammals, likely involves combinatorial regulation both of cell-specific targets and of multiple signaling pathways.
loqs [Search on AGR]
Drosophila melanogaster loquacious (loqs) encodes a double-stranded RNA binding protein with multiple splicing isoforms. loqs-PB and loqs-PA associate with the product of Dcr-1 to facilitate processing of precursor miRNA into mature miRNA, whereas loqs-PD interacts with the product of Dcr-2 to enhance processing of dsRNA into siRNA.
