UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adults expressing CG5969GD16253 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) show significantly reduced avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in late pupal lethality.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in the absence of 100% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237-expressing area of the notum.
