UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of Abd-BGD4680 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu or Scer\GAL4nSyb.PS (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) results in a significant decrease in virgin female receptivity, as compared to controls (but this phenotype is not seen if a Gal80[ts] transgene is included to restrict expression to the adult stage); no significant difference in the postmating response is seen in these flies, and there is no difference in female attractiveness to males as measured by male courtship index, as compared to controls.
Expression of Abd-BGD4680 under the control of Scer\GAL4Abd-B-LDN (along with Scer\FLP1lexAop.cSa, Scer\GAL80αTub84B.PG and Ecol\lexAp65.R57C10.P to restrict expression to Abd-B-expressing neurons) in virgin females results in significantly reduced receptivity to mating, as compared to controls. Expression of Abd-BGD4680 under the control of Scer\GAL4Abd-B-LDN alone results in females with malformed genitalia that are unable to copulate.
Adults expressing Abd-BGD4680 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in adult/pharate lethality.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in bristle morphology defects on the notum in 80-90% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in the absence of 20-30% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237-expressing area of the notum.
Abd-BGD4680, Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407, dsxUAS.female has decreased cell number | larval stage phenotype
Abd-BGD4680, Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407, dsxUAS.female has abnormal cell death | female limited | larval stage phenotype
Abd-BGD4680, Scer\GAL4elav-C155, UbxRNAi.UAS has abnormal neuroanatomy | adult stage phenotype
Abd-BGD4680, Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407, dsxUAS.female has thoracic neuroblast | larval stage phenotype
Abd-BGD4680, Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407, dsxUAS.female has larval terminal neuroblast | female limited phenotype
Abd-BGD4680, Scer\GAL4elav-C155, UbxRNAi.UAS has adult ventral nerve cord phenotype
Expression of Abd-BGD4680 and dsxUAS.female, in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency, under the control of Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407 from early first instar stage, in combination with a Gal80[ts] transgene, prevents female-specific loss of larval terminal neuroblasts, compared to controls; there is also a significant decrease in the number of thoracic neuroblasts in the female, compared to controls.
Expression of Abd-BGD4680 RNAi under the control of Scer\GAL4lama-A8 in the Pcl3-78.38 homozygous mutant somatic clones induced specifically in brain optic lobes prevents the formation of characteristic for Pcl3-78.38 clones.
