A 4.5kb genomic fragment from the dl 5' flanking region drives expression of a mutated dl coding sequence (amino acid replacement D184K) that is tagged at the C-terminal end with the Tag:nt1 epitope. The Hsp70 polyadenylation signal is also present.
dlM16.Tag:nt1 partially rescues dl1
dlM16.T:boss-NT1 partially rescues the cuticle phenotype of embryos derived from dl1 females.
