Construct: w gene expression is governed by the same regulatory region, though in the opposite relative orientation, as Ecol\lacZrho.50:50.kni, i.e. 700bp rho promoter fragment, maps between -2.2 and -1.5kb upstream of the rho transcription start site, that lacks all four sna-binding sites and has one synthetic sna-binding site 50bp downstream of d4, with kni binding sites created by in vitro mutagenesis 50bp 5' and 3' of the dl1 and dl4 sites respectively.
Used as part of an analysis of the function of CtBP as a repressor in regulating gene expression in the patterning the early embryo.
