UASt regulatory drive expression of E(spl)m4-BFM which is tagged at the N-terminal end with Tag:FLAG. 20bp of the E(spl)m4-BFM 3'UTR is also present in the construct.
Expression of m4Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-537.4 results in the production of extra bristles on the notum and head (average 28.9 extra bristles per fly, total of 26 bristle positions assayed).
Expression of m4Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4neur-P72 results in the production of extra bristles on the notum and head.
Expression of m4Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4mα.hs does not produce any significant mutant bristle phenotype in the notum or head.
