UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Compared to controls, expression of ND20-likeGD17782 via Scer\GAL4elav-C155, but not via Scer\GAL4repo, causes increased agressive behaviour (lunging assay) in 4-6 day-old male flies.
Adults expressing ND-20LGD17782 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 of ND-20LGD17782 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) results in viable flies or partial lethality, depending on the particular P{GD17782} insertion line used.
