Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1995, 92:5184-5188. This paper shows that, in the absence of the mod(mdg4) protein, the gypsy insulator can act interchromosomally and repress enhancer function in trans. This is an interesting finding which suggests that the alteration in chromatin structure caused by su(Hw) in one chromosome can be transmitted to the paired homolog.

Development 1995, 121:3573-3582. This paper shows that an insulator can affect the levels of dosage compensation of a transgene inserted in an autosomal location. As dosage compensation is regulated by modulation of chromatin, the results suggest a role of the insulator in this process.

42. ••] demonstrate that an enhancer insulated by a boundary element is still able to activate transcription from a non-insulated promoter. This is an important finding, which indicates that inhibition of enhancer function by an insulator does not affect the interaction of transcription factors with enhancer sequences, and an insulated enhancer is otherwise functional.
