Mutations in the Insulator Protein Suppressor of Hairy Wing Induce Genome Instability
2019-02-15
Abstract excerpt
Chromatin insulator proteins mediate the formation of contacts between distant insulator sites along chromatin fibers. Long-range contacts facilitate communication between regulatory sequences and gene promoters throughout the genome, allowing accurate gene transcription regulation during embryo development and cell differentiation. Lack of insulator function has detrimental effects often resulting in lethality. T...
