Su(Hw) binding sites are required for repression of transcription. (a) Scheme of the constructs (drawn not to scale) containing the mini white gene (white), LacZ-GFP coding region (LacZ-GFP), transcription terminator from SV40 virus (SV40), and promoters of two model genes, mAcR-60C and Rph (promoter). Arrowheads show the direction of transcription. The sizes of promoter fragments cloned into the constructs are indicated. WT, wild-type sequences including Su(Hw) binding site (bold type); mut, sequences with mutation in Su(Hw) binding site. (b) Expression of two model genes in the wild-type (wt) and mutant (mut) backgrounds. (c) Expression of model genes in the heads in the Su(Hw) overexpression background. Expression levels are shown as a fold change relative to wild type. Error bars indicate standard deviation of two independent biological replicates.
