In vertebrates, several regulatory
elements including CTCF binding motifs (36–38),
repetitive elements, [such as ALUs (39), SINE B2 (29)
and SINE B1 (30)] and scaffold/matrix-attachment
regions [S/MARs; (40,41)], have been shown to function
as insulators (25,42).

Thus, the insula-
tor activity described herein could be mediated by S/MAR
elements.
