Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including nervous system development; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of neuroblast proliferation. Located in several cellular components, including apical cortex; basal cortex; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including glial cell; organism subdivision; sense organ; sensory organ cell; and somatic precursor cell. Used to study brain cancer and cancer. Orthologous to several human genes including PROX1 (prospero homeobox 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Apical-basal polarity precisely determines intestinal stem cell number by regulating Prospero threshold.
Title: Apical-basal polarity precisely determines intestinal stem cell number by regulating Prospero threshold.
in larval brain neuroblasts, an intrinsic mechanism facilitates import and export of Pros across the nuclear envelope via a Ran-mediated nucleocytoplasmic transport system.
Title: RanGAP-mediated nucleocytoplasmic transport of Prospero regulates neural stem cell lifespan in Drosophila larval central brain.
Results show that both Esg and Sc bind to a common promoter region of pros. Moreover, antagonistic activity between Esg and Sc controls the expression status of Pros in stem cells, thereby, specifying whether stem cells remain undifferentiated or commit to enteroendocrine cell differentiation.
Title: Transcription Factor Antagonism Controls Enteroendocrine Cell Specification from Intestinal Stem Cells.
Loss of Prospero hinders the suppression of SCA8 associated neurodegeneration by Spoonbill. Prospero and Spoon might genetically interact and function together.
Title: Interaction of Spoonbill with Prospero in Drosophila: Implications in neuroblast development.
We then show that Rx controls proliferation within the MBNB clones independently of Tailless (Tll) and Prospero (Pros), and does not regulate the expression of other key regulators of MB development, Eyeless (Ey) and Dachshund (Dac). Our data support that the role of Rx in forebrain development is conserved between vertebrates and fly.
Title: Retinal homeobox promotes cell growth, proliferation and survival of mushroom body neuroblasts in the Drosophila brain.
Prospero is required for the differentiation of astrocytes, but not of ensheathing glia, despite their common lineage.
Title: Drosophila astrocytes cover specific territories of the CNS neuropil and are instructed to differentiate by Prospero, a key effector of Notch.
Bj1 RanGEF promotes Prospero nuclear export and neuroblast self-renewal
Title: The RanGEF Bj1 promotes prospero nuclear export and neuroblast self-renewal.
Btd prevents the premature differentiation by suppressing the expression of Prospero in immature intermediate neural progenitor cells. Btd functions cooperatively with Pointed P1 to promote the generation of the above cells.
Title: The Drosophila Sp8 transcription factor Buttonhead prevents premature differentiation of intermediate neural progenitors.
Transient nuclear Prospero induces neural progenitor quiescence.
Title: Transient nuclear Prospero induces neural progenitor quiescence.
We explain this paradox by demonstrating that Da induces the differentiation factor Prospero (Pros) whose asymmetric segregation is essential for differentiation in one of the two daughter cells.
