Self-association of the Drosophila zeste protein is responsible for transvection effects.

The EMBO journal - 1 Sept 1990

Bickel S, Pirrotta V

Abstract excerpt

The zeste gene product is required for transvection effects that imply the ability of regulatory elements on one chromosome to affect the expression of the homologous gene in a somatically paired chromosome. The z1 mutation causes a pairing dependent inhibition of the expression of the white gene. Both of these phenomena can be explained by the tendency of zeste protein, expressed in bacteria or in flies, to...
