The Drosophila Forkhead/Fox transcription factor Jumeau mediates specific cardiac progenitor cell divisions by regulating expression of the kinesin Nebbish

Abstract Forkhead (Fkh/Fox) domain transcription factors (TFs) mediate multiple cardiogenic processes in both mammals and Drosophila. We showed previously that the Drosophila Fox gene jumeau (jumu) controls three categories of cardiac progenitor cell division—asymmetric, symmetric, and cell division...
