The interactions of one homeodomain protein with another may be a general way in which their specificity is enhanced.

D005800 Genes, Fungal The functional hereditary units of FUNGI. Fungal Genes,Fungal Gene,Gene, Fungal
D005801 Genes, Homeobox Genes that encode highly conserved TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS that control positional identity of cells (BODY PATTERNING) and MORPHOGENESIS throughout development. Their sequences contain a 180 nucleotide sequence designated the homeobox, so called because mutations of these genes often results in homeotic transformations, in which one body structure replaces another. The proteins encoded by homeobox genes are called HOMEODOMAIN PROTEINS.
