Abstract excerpt
The suppressor of Hairy-wing [su(Hw)] protein represses enhancer function in a unidirectional fashion: enhancers segregated from the promoter by the su(Hw) binding region are rendered inactive. whereas those in the same domain are unaffected. In the case of the gypsy-induced y2 allele, the repressive effect of su(Hw) is rendered bidirectional in mod(mdg4) mutant flies, and all enhancers of the affected gene...
