Abstract:
Homeobox‐containing sequences were isolated from a genomic library of zebrafish ( Brachydanio rerio ). A λ clone containing two homeobox cross‐hybridizing regions was characterized. DNA sequencing of one of these regions (ZF‐21) revealed that it contains a homeobox closely related to the Antennapedia class of Drosophila homeobox sequences. Moreover, the deduced amino acid sequence of the C‐terminal end (81 residues including the homeobox) is identical to the corresponding part of the murine Hox‐2.1 protein. Similar to Hox‐2.1, a ZF‐21 derived transcript of 2.3 kb is present in embryos at the somite forming stages.
