UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adults expressing Rpt6GD8479 under the control of the cardioblast-specific Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4 driver show significantly reduced survival on day 6 after a shift to 29[o]C compared to control flies.
Adults expressing Rpt6GD8479 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\GAL4Mef2.PR results in early pupal lethality.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in lethality (either before or at the pupal stage), depending on the insertion line used.
