A deleted form of l(2)gd1 which lacks all four DM14 domains is expressed under the control of its own regulatory sequences (548bp upstream of the translational start site and 553bp downstream of the translational stop site are present). The l(2)gd1 coding region is tagged at the C-terminal end with Tag:HA.
l(2)gd1ΔDM14.Tag:HA fails to rescue l(2)gd1d7
