Position-effect variegation and z1 mediated white repression in the In(1)wis system in Drosophila melanogaster.

Hereditas - 1 Jan 1993

Rasmuson-Lestander A, Larsson J, Rasmuson B

Abstract excerpt

We have characterized a new X-chromosomal inversion in Drosophila melanogaster, extending from just distal of white to just proximal of the bb locus. The inversion places the w-isoxanthopterinless (wis) allele close to heterochromatin and under the influence of position-effect variegation (PEV). The wis gene activity is also regulated by chromosome pairing-dependent z1-mediated repression. By changing the...
