P{Act5C-BE3} expresses the BE3 base-editing fusion protein described in Komor et al. ("Programmable Editing of a Target Base in Genomic DNA Without Double-Stranded DNA Cleavage" Nature 533: 420–424, 2016) ubiquitously under the control of Act5C regulatory sequences.
P{Act5C-BE3}attP40 is an insertion into the P{CaryP}attP40 site at 25C6, 2L:5108448..5108448 .
Both the P{Act5C-BE3} construct and P{Act5C-BE3}attP40 insertion were generated in the lab of Craig Montell, University of California at Santa Barbara.
P{Act5C-BE3.w-.RFP+}attP40 was derived from P{Act5C-BE3}attP40 using P{white-eraser}-mediated exchange of miniwhite for 3xP3-DsRed.
