Chromosomal structure is altered by mutations that suppress or enhance position effect variegation.

Chromosoma - 1 Oct 1990

Hayashi S, Ruddell A, Sinclair D, Grigliatti T

Abstract excerpt

We examined the genetic, morphological, and molecular effects of position effect variegation in Drosophila, and the effects of mutations that either suppress [Su(var)] or enhance [E(var)] this phenomenon. All eight Su(var) mutations examined strongly suppress the inactivation of variegating alleles of the genes white [In(l) wm4], brown [In(2R) bwVDe2] and Stubble [T(2; 3) SbV]. The E(var) mutation enhances...
