UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Larvae expressing mriGD7508 under the control of Scer\GAL41003.3 (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to enhance RNAi) show a reduced response to gentle touch compared to controls. Class III ddaA neurons in these larvae show a significant decrease in the number of dendritic sensory filopodia compared to wild type. The average length of the filopodia is significantly decreased, while the total length of primary dendritic branches is not altered.
Adults expressing mriGD7508 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 mriGD7508 under the control of Scer\GAL4HCH.Hand show a significant increase in systolic diameter compared to controls. Heart period, diastolic diameter and fractional shortening are not significantly different from controls.
Adults expressing mriGD7508 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 extra bristles on the notum in 10-20% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in an enlarged notum.
