Genetics - 1 Nov 1996

Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms that allow enhancers to activate promoters from thousands of base pairs away are disrupted by the suppressor of Hairy-wing protein (SUHW) of Drosophila. SUHW binds a DNA sequence in the gypsy retrotransposon and prevents enhancers promoter-distal to a gypsy insertion in a gene from activating without affecting promoter-proximal enhancers. Several observations indicate that SUHW does not affect...
