(13) These results are discussed in the context of an autoregulatory model for engrailed regulation.
(14) hh expression in epidermal cells is confined to the posterior compartments and coincides precisely with that of engrailed (en).
(15) An enzyme system that accurately initiates transcription of the engrailed gene has been prepared from Drosophila embryos.

(18) This gene, which encodes a transmembrane protein, is initially expressed in a generalized way at blastoderm, but later stops being transcribed in cells expressing the engrailed gene, and even later in cells in the middle of the parasegment.
(19) Autoregulation graduates to wingless independence, but is transient, and is superseded by an engrailed-independent mode of maintenance.
(20) It appears to control morphogenesis by regulating the expression of the segmentation gene engrailed (en), and by autoregulating its own expression (M. Frasch and M.L., in preparation).
