UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The expression of CG16868GD3557 under the control of Scer\GAL4c564 has no obvious affect on the inflammatory response to Gram-positive bacterial infection, but leads to a minor ectopic inflammatory response in basal (non-infected) conditions, as compared to controls.
Adults expressing CG16868GD3557 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\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in bristle morphology defects on the notum in 20-30% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
