UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of MtpGD5414 under the control of Scer\GAL4sal.BO (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) does not result in larval lethality at the L2/L3 transition.
Expression of MtpGD5414 in C-IV neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.1.9 results in a reduction in total dendritic length in ddaC neurons. The total number of dendritic branches is also reduced in ddaC neurons.
A gas-filled lumen is only seen in short regions of terminal tracheal cells in animals expressing MtpGD5414 under the control of Scer\GAL4btl.PS.
Expression of MtpGD5414 under the control of Scer\GAL4Rfabg.PB results in slight defects in larval growth and a delay in development. However, the lumen of the terminal tracheal cells is normal in these animals.
Adults expressing MtpGD5414 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 may result in lethality, depending on the insertion line used.
