UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adults expressing slouGD4159 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.
Depending on the insertion line used, expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR can result in viable flies or early pupal lethality.
Expression of slouGD4159 under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in lethality at variable stages. In flies that die during the adult stage, wing posture, locomotion and flight are all abnormal.
