An Hsp70 promoter drives expression of a 4.8kb SC3 ewg cDNA.
Flies carrying two copies of P{ewgHS1} in an otherwise wild-type background show reduced viability at 25oC. The effect is more marked for males than females.
Basal expression can rescue the embryonic lethality associated with loss of ewg function (FBrf0059052) and the IFM defects.
