Phenotypic reversion of the gypsy-induced mutation scD1 of Drosophila melanogaster by replicative transposition of a sc enhancer to the yellow gene and by mutations in the enhancer of yellow and zeste loci.

Abstract excerpt

Both mutations of Drosophila melanogaster in the y2scD1 strain are caused by the insertion of gypsy, but the scD1 mutation contains, in addition, an insertion of the jockey mobile element at a distance of 1.8 kb from gypsy. The su(Hw)-binding region in the copy of gypsy in scD1 inhibits scute expression in several specific areas of the epithelium, and in particular, blocks the formation of anterior notopleural...
