Essential Or regulatory sequences lie within 500 bp of the ATG. (A) Olfactory organs. Arrowhead indicates antenna; arrow indicates maxillary palp. Adapted from (Carlson, 1996). (B) Deletion series of the upstream sequences of Or85e (left) and Or46a (right). X-Gal staining in the maxillary palp is indicated by a “+” or “−”. (C) Confocal micrographs of maxillary palps containing UAS-GFP and Or85e 0.45kb-GAL4 (left) or Or46a 0.4kb-GAL4 (right), which have been co-stained for GFP (green) and their respective RNAs (red). (D) Identification of overrepresented motifs. The positions of two overrepresented motifs upstream of Or genes expressed in the maxillary palp. The numbers of expected and observed occurrences are indicated in the table. Motifs present in the forward strand are shown above each line; those in the reverse strand are shown below each line.
