Abstract
The resistance to exonuclease digestion of two regions of chromatin at the 5′ end of heat-shock genes in Drosophila implies they have protein bound to them. The pattern of resistance before and after induction of gene expression suggests that heat-shock genes are activated by the sequential binding of at least two protein factors.
