Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila melanogaster alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) gene is expressed in a specific set of tissues during larval development and in adults. Expression in the adult fat body is controlled by the Adh adult enhancer (AAE). Previous studies identified a negative regulatory element in the AAE and a protein that binds specifically to this sequence [adult enhancer factor-1 (AEF-1)]. Here, we show that the...
