UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of MED4GD5848 under the control of Scer\GAL4bam.T:Hsim\VP16 (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) results in partial meiotic arrest in spermatocytes.
Adults expressing MED4GD5848 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 the absence of 80-90% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237-expressing area of the notum.
