Replacement of the first 52 base pairs at the beginning of the coding sequence of the 'a' isoform of OtopLa with the Ecol\lexA and miniwhite genes. The deletion removes the first 18 amino acids and changed the reading frame.
The first 52 base pairs of the coding sequence common to OtopLa isoforms RC-RG were replaced with
the Ecol\lexA and miniwhite genes.
