UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Wild-type mates of knock-down males expressing CG7882GD3480 under the control of Scer\GAL4Abd-B.D1 lay fewer eggs and display defects in post-mating receptivity suppression - the females become receptive for re-mating sooner (by 4 days after start of mating) than when mated with wild-type males.
Adults expressing CG7882GD3480 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.
