In Drosophila , a large group of actively transcribed genes is located in pericentromeric heterochromatin. It is assumed that heterochromatic proteins recruit transcription factors to gene promoters. Two proteins, Ouib and Nom, were previously shown to bind to the promoters of the heterochromatic ge...
