Transgenic construct used to study the requirements for amplification of the third chromosome chorion gene cluster. Contains (5' to 3'): a gypsy insulator - the ACE3 amplification control element from the chorion gene cluster - a gypsy insulator that is flanked on each side by FRT sites, with chorion gene coding region 'stuffer' sequences flanking each side of the two FRT sites - the Ori-β origin of replication from the chorion gene cluster - the y+mDint2 marker - a gypsy insulator.
construct_comment: The FRT sites are flanked by "stuffer" sequences: bps 1919--2119 of Cp18 and 3105--3304 of Cp15 to avoid potential stearic inhibition.
report comment: Carries multiple gypsy\su(Hw)BR elements: at ends of construct as buffers; between the ACE3 and Ori66Dβ elements (this third gypsy\su(Hw)BR is removable -- flanked by FRT\'s).
