Abstract excerpt
A region (NS1) that acts like an enhancer is located approximately 300 bp upstream of the larval cap site in the Adh gene of D. melanogaster. When this sequence is deleted (delta NS1), the gene fails to express ADH protein. Gene expression can be restored by placing a second Adh gene with an intact enhancer elsewhere on the same plasmid. In these circumstances, both genes are expressed equally regardless of their...
