Color vision in Drosophila melanogaster is based on the expression of five different color-sensing Rhodopsin proteins distinct subtypes photoreceptor neurons. Promoter regions less than 300 base pairs are sufficient to reproduce unique, subtype-specific rhodopsin patterns. The underlying cis -regulatory logic remains poorly understood, but it has been proposed that promoters have a bipartite structure: distal promoter region directs highly restricted specific subtype, while proximal core...
