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. …”
