5' sequences from eve, -1.7kb to the end of codon 22 in the protein coding region (including stripe 2 enhancer), fused to lacZ coding region.
5' eve promoter sequences are deleted so the remaining 1.7kb of flanking promoter sequences is fused to lacZ.
Used as part of an analysis of the function of CtBP as a repressor in regulating gene expression in the patterning the early embryo.
