An Hsp70Bb promoter fragment (extends to -194 relative to the transcription start site) is fused upstream of lacZ. 148bp of 3' Hsp70 sequence, including a polyadenylation signal, is also present downstream of the lacZ coding sequence.
200-fold increase in transcription level observed upon heat-shock; assayed by mRNA levels on northern blots and by quantitation of β-galactosidase activity. Used as wild-type standard.
construct_comment: Used to investigate correlation between heat-shock transcript size and size of heat-shock-induced puff; large puffproduced at site of insertion.
