A Hsp70 heat-shock drives expression of the Poke\FokI endonuclease fused to 3 Zinc finger motifs. The Zinc Finger motifs have been mutated to recognise the sequence 5'-GCGGTAGGC-3' site within exon 2 of the y gene.
Zzzz\ZFNhs.yA and Zzzz\ZFNhs.yB are used in combination to induce double strand breaks within the endogenous y gene sequence, The consequent repair mechanism occasionally leading to deletions at the site of repair.
