hzy is required for rhabdomere formation and phototransduction Development 130, 4383-4392 (2003)
The phototransduction pathway The EMBO Journal (2001) 20, 4414–4422, doi:10.1093/emboj/20.16.4414
Goals • Identify targets of hzy using oligonucleotide expression arrays • Determine the stage of rhabdomere formation that requires hzy • Identify DNA binding site for hzy • Understand the regulation of hzyitself

hzy has been shown to bind to a motif upstream of eyeG TAATNNNATTA Development 130, 4383-4392 (2003)
MEME MEME is a tool for discovering motifs in a group of related DNA or protein sequences Primary targets of hzy should have a conserved binding site in their promoter region

A true motif should be conserved • For each of the hzy targets at 72 hr APF, find orthologs in other groups of Drosophila • Retrieve 500 b upstream of each gene • Run MEME on promoter regions from each specie

Promoter testing with Gal4-UAS system X Promoter Gal4 UAS Reporter
Future Directions • RT PCR to confirm targets • Search hzy promoter region for known TFBS
