Transcription factor DREF regulates expression of the microRNA gene <i>bantam in Drosophila melanogaster</i> by M. B.  Schwartz, M. M. Prudnikova, O. V. Andreenkov, E. I. Volkova, I. F. Zhimulev, O. V. Antonenko, S.  A. Demakov

“…Using transgenic lines containing a fulllength bantam lethality-rescuing deletion fragment and a fragment with a disrupted DREF binding site, we show that these motifs are functionally significant because their disruption at the bantam locus reduces expression levels in the larvae and ovaries of homozygous flies, which correlates with reduced vitality and fertility. The effect of DREF binding to the promoter region of the bantam gene on its expression level suggests an additional level of complexity in the regulation of expression of this microRNA. …”
