E(var)3-9 of Drosophila melanogaster encodes a zinc finger protein.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2007

Weiler Karen S

Abstract excerpt

The importance of a gene's natural chromatin environment for its normal expression is poignantly illustrated when a change in chromosome position results in variable gene repression, such as is observed in position effect variegation (PEV) when the Drosophila melanogaster white (omega) gene is juxtaposed with heterochromatin. The Enhancer of variegation 3-9 [E(var)3-9] gene was one of over a hundred loci...
