UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adults expressing Acp36DEGD5318 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.
Mates of Acp36DEGD5318 Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL males fail to reach the final stage of the uterine conformational changes; the majority of Acp36DEGD5318 knockdown mates appear to have stalled in the 'middle' stages.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 may result in lethality before the pupal stage, depending on the insertion line used.
