Contains a BAC clone encompassing E(spl)mβ-HLH, into which a GFP tag with a GVG linker has been introduced at the N-terminal end of the open reading frame.
E(spl)m3-HLH is expressed in the notum at 2.5 hr APF in cells flanking the Dl stripes. It is one of two "early onset" E(spl)-HLH factors. At 7-8 hr APF it is detected on the sides of proneural stripes 1,3, and 5.
