Illustration of the lili (CG5807) locus, lili mutations, and lili transgenes. A schematic representation of the lili genomic location as per Flybase. Orange boxes mark ORF and gray regions 5′ and 3′ UTRs, Orientation is with centromere to the left. The lili1 allele was obtained from the l(3)96Bb2 chromosome. Mobilization of P-elements P{EP}CG5807EP3489 and P{EP}CG5807EP3146 generated directed deletions (thick bar) of the first exon and part of the first intron, resulting in the lili2 and lili3 alleles. A 10,022-bp genomic rescue construct includes the lili transcription unit and flanking DNA (blue line). The liliP-eGFP.nls reporter contains the lili promoter region through the start codon (626 bp).
