A Nuclear Matrix/Scaffold Attachment Region Co-localizes with the Gypsy Retrotransposon Insulator Sequence
1 Jan 1998
Abstract excerpt
The 5'-untranslated region of the Drosophila gypsy retrotransposon contains an "insulator," which disrupts the interactions between enhancer and promoter elements located apart. The insulator effect is dependent on the suppressor of Hairy-wing (su(Hw)) protein, which binds to reiterated sites within the 350 base pairs of the gypsy insulator, whereby it additionally acts as a transcriptional activator of gypsy....
