Abstract
Using Drosophila transgenic model systems, we have shown that the four binding sites for the architectural protein dCTCF themselves have no insulator activity. They cannot block enhancers and protect from Polycomb-dependent repression. The results suggest that in the known Drosophila insulators, the dCTCF protein functions in cooperation with other architectural proteins.
