P-constructs used in these experiments. (A) Constructs with
the en promoter. P[en3R] {P[en1] from Kassis et al.
(Kassis et al., 1992)} and
P[en3] (Devido et al., 2008)
contain en sequences (green) extending from -2.407 kb through to the
start site of en transcription (indicated by the arrow) and 188 bp of
the en untranslated leader fused to Adh-lacZ (blue).
P[en3Δboth] contains en sequences from -395 bp through to +188
bp (Devido et al., 2008). L,
loxP site; F, FRT site; P, P-element ends. (B) Constructs with the heat
shock promoter (HSP). The pUZ vector is shown along with the insertion site
for the en fragments (green)
(Lyko et al., 1997). The
locations of two Polycomb response elements (PREs) are shown as green boxes
(DeVido et al., 2008;
Kassis, 1994). The extent of
the en fragment in each construct is shown by the green line.
