Abstract excerpt
In a search for homologues of the dominant modifier of position-effect variegation Su(var)3-7, we have identified one ORF in Drosophila melanogaster. The 359 amino acid deduced protein is much shorter than the 1169 amino acid protein Su(var)3-7. Surprisingly, the two genes are very close to each other at 87E on the polytene chromosome map, and are transcribed divergently. The triplet coding for the N-terminus...
