- Modular enhancers
- Genes can be controlled by different sets of regulators
- Diagram shows gcm gene in D. melanogaster involved in gliogenesis
- Different coloured lines = different regions of DNA required for regulation by activation of genes in different cell lines
- Different enhancers and possibly different activators
- Different cell types can have different transcription factors
- TNF-a genes
- Enhancer binds different factors depending on stimulus
- 2 enhancer sequences overlap and share some activators
- TNF protein produced in response to lipopolysaccharide (in presence of bacteria) - causes an increase in Ca2+ concentration
