Binding of APUM to NRE
To test the predictions regarding the RNA-binding
specificities of the putative APUM proteins, we investi-
gated the capacity of APUM to bind to the NRE
sequence of hunchback ... genome, we decided to focus
in the binding of APUM consensus to 3¢ UTR tran-
scripts expressed in the tissue related to plant meris-
tems because the regulation of...
