Fair Labor Standards Act - FLSA. A maintenance worker is hired to work 35 hours at $15/hr. At $525/week, he passes the salary test (his income is greater than $455/week) but, as he cannot exercise discretion or independent judgment and is directly supervised, he is classified as a non-exempt employee.
Although Hox genes contain and are originally named because of the homeobox sequence, not all homeobox-containing genes are Hox genes (other examples include the POU genes and CDX genes). The homeobox encodes for a protein sequence called the homeodomain, which is a DNA-binding domain.
Homeobox gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster. Hox genes are a complex of genes whose proteins bind to the regulatory regions of target genes. The target genes then activate or repress cell processes to direct the final development of the organism. Hox genes have a DNA sequence known as the homeobox. The homeobox is a 180 nucleotide-long DNA sequence which codes for a 60 amino acid-long protein domain known as the homeodomain. This works by binding with DNA. Hox genes are in gene clusters on the genome.
