4.5kb EagI/BglII genomic fragment containing the Hel25E gene, including approximately 700bp of sequence 5' to the translation initiation site, and 1300bp of sequence 3' to the translation initiation site.
Position effect variegation of w caused by In(1)wm4 is enhanced by Df(2L)cl-h4. This phenotype is suppressed by Hel25E+t4.5; the level of variegation seen in In(1)wm4; Df(2L)cl-h4/Hel25E+t4.5 flies is the same as seen in In(1)wm4/+ flies. Flies carrying one copy of Hel25E+t4.5 in a Hel25E+ background show moderate suppression of the position effect variegation of w caused by In(1)wm4.
