Subject: P{hs-su(Hw).GAL4BD}22
P{hs-su(Hw).GAL4BD}22 was donated to the Bloomington Stock Center by
Thomas Preat of the Genes et Dynamique des Systemes de Memoire, CNRS,
Paris. It is a viable insertion into chromosome 3. Accompanying notes
said that it expresses a Su(Hw) protein with the GAL4 DNA binding domain
upon heat shock. Binding of the chimeric protein to UAS sequences in
transgene insertions can block enhancer-promoter communication and
prevent gene expression.
