40. Histidine-tagged dMyc and dMax proteins were expressed from pET19b vectors (Novagen) containing a dMyc cDNA fragment (amino acids 534 to 717) or a dMax cDNA fragment (amino acids 26 to 161), and purified. In vitro transcription and translation were performed as in (4) using pRc/CMV vectors (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA). For in vitro interaction assays, 4 μl of each translated protein was incubated with 2 μl of His-dMyc or His-dMax attached to a nickel resin or 2 μl of bovine serum albumin (BSA)-blocked nickel resin in 400 μl of L buffer (phosphate-buffered saline containing 0.4% NP-40) for 1 hour at 4°C. After three washes with L buffer, the bound proteins were eluted with SDS-containing sample buffer and subjected to SDS-PAGE and autoradiography.
41. 2, 0.5 mM EDTA, 5% glycerol, 10 mM dithiothreitol, 0.1% NP-40, 0.5 mg/ml BSA, and 1 μg of sheared salmon sperm DNA for 30 min at room temperature. For competition experiments, increasing amounts of unlabeled CM-1 or B1/B2 (4) oligonucleotide were included in the binding reaction. The DNA-protein complexes were resolved on a 4% polyacrylamide gel containing 2.5% glycerol and subjected to autoradiography.

After 48 hours, luciferase activity was determined [F. M. Ausubel et al., Eds., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology (Wiley, New York, 1995) Supplement 29, pp. 9.7.11-9.7.21] and normalized for expression from CMV-βgal. The data represent duplicate samples from two independent experiments.
43. Polyadenylated [poly(A)'] RNA was analyzed as in S. M. Parkhurst and V. G. Corces [Cell 41, 429 (1985)]. For the developmental analysis shown in Fig. 3, wild-type flies were kept at 25°C.
44. For RNA in situ hybridizations [D. Tautz and C. Pfeifle, Chromosoma 98, 81 (1989)], digoxygenin-labeled probes were obtained by random-primer labeling of cDNA fragments comprising the dmax ORF, and nucleotides 1 to 2083 for dmyc, respectively.
