A 3671 base pair fragment from the flanking non-coding or intronic region of Rdl is fused upstream of a Drosophila core synthetic promoter (DSCP) followed by sequence encoding a lexA::p65 driver. The driver sequence has been optimized for Drosophila codon usage. An Hsp70 transcriptional terminator is present.
EcollexAGMR70F01 drives expression in embryonic/larval neuron &&of embryonic/larval braindown and back neurons, weakly in A27j neurons and rarely in a single brain neuron.
