The prospero gene encodes a divergent homeodomain protein that controls neuronal identity in Drosophila.

TL;DR: It is shown that the prospero (pros) gene encodes a highly divergent homeodomain, which contains several of the most conserved amino acids characteristic of knownHomeodomains, yet it is considerably less basic than previously identified homeodOMains, consistent with a model in which pros controls neuroblast cell lineages by regulating gene expression.
