UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Flies expressing etGD6535 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.Switch.PR (induced by Mifepristone) survive better in food contaminated with S. marcescens (an entomopathogenic bacterium) than controls.
Flies expressing etGD6535 using Scer\GAL4ey.PU do not show an eye phenotype.
etGD6535/Scer\GAL4ey.PU is an enhancer of eye phenotype of upd1GMR.PB
Flies expressing etGD6535 using Scer\GAL4ey.PU in the upd1GMR.PB background have more severe eye overgrowth than upd1GMR.PB alone.
