◆ We developed a live-imaging system that permits systematic visualization of the roles of individual core promoter elements in living Drosophila embryo.
◆ Quantitative image analysis revealed that each core promoter elements differentially regulates the amplitude and the frequency of transcriptional bursting.
◆ Engineering of the core promoter region of endogenous fushi tarazu gene revealed that both TATA and DPE are essential for its correct expression and function during embryogenesis.
