Abstract excerpt
The KP element can repress P element mobility in Drosophila melanogaster. Three mutant KP elements were made that had either two amino acid substitutions or a single amino acid deletion in the putative leucine zipper domain found in the KP polypeptide. Each KP element was expressed from the actin 5C proximal promoter. The wild-type control construct strongly repressed P element mobility, measured by the GD...
