We report in this paper that the PROD protein, encoded by the gene proliferation disrupter (prod), is associated with the telomeric chromatin in Drosophila melanogaster. It binds to a region just upstream of the promoter of the telomere-specific retrotransposon HeT-A, which is located in the long 3'untranslated region of the element near its oligo(A) tail. Reduction of PROD in prod heterozygote flies results in elevated levels of HeT-A RNA in the ovaries, suggesting that PROD functions as a repressor of HeT-A transcriptional activity at the telomeres.
