The paper investigates interactions between BEAF and co-insulator proteins in Drosophila, finding that Pzg and Chro, but not CP190, can interact with BEAF from a distance to activate reporter genes.

The paper identifies a compensatory mutation, Tofu, that rescues fertility in Drosophila with null BEAF mutations by affecting rib expression.

This study shows BEAF activates housekeeping promoters regardless of specific core promoter motifs, but not regulated promoters, and synergizes with certain motifs.
