Abstract excerpt
Gfi-1 is a C(2)H(2)-type zinc finger protein that is a transcriptional repressor in vertebrates and has been implicated in control of CYP6D1 expression in house flies (Musca domestica). A 15 bp insert, which disrupts a putative mdGfi-1 binding site in the CYP6D1v1 promoter has been implicated as a cause of increased expression of CYP6D1, and thus insecticide resistance. Using electrophoretic mobility shift assays...
