The effects of interactions between P element and yellow regulatory sequences on the control of yellow expression were studied. The y mutations used in the analysis lack a segment of upstream sequence that extends from position -146 bp to -70 bp, relative to the transcription start site of the yellow gene. This sequence has been found to be necessary for the function of the yellow promoter. The insertion of one or two P element copies at position -69 bp compensates for the deletion in the regulatory region and restores yellow expression. After mobilization of the P element, new phenotypes were selected and molecularly characterized. Two regions in the 5' part of the P element, from 23 bp to 71 bp and from 82 bp to 108 bp, can each partially compensate for the yellow deletion. In addition, deletion derivatives of the P element were themselves able to activate yellow transcription. All such P elements retain at least 108 bp of sequence at the 5' end and 15-17 bp at the 3' end. Thus, the region of the P element from 23 bp to 108 bp contains cis-regulatory elements that can influence the transcription of neighboring genes.

D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).

D004251 DNA Transposable Elements Discrete segments of DNA which can excise and reintegrate to another site in the genome. Most are inactive, i.e., have not been found to exist outside the integrated state. DNA transposable elements include bacterial IS (insertion sequence) elements, Tn elements, the maize controlling elements Ac and Ds, Drosophila P, gypsy, and pogo elements, the human Tigger elements and the Tc and mariner elements which are found throughout the animal kingdom.
