UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of trblGD11640 under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E leads to increased cell death in third instar larval wing discs.
Larvae expressing trblGD11640 under the control of Scer\GAL4r4 does not show changes in body weight; larval fat body cells and their lipid droplets are significantly larger than in controls, but their nuclei are significantly smaller than in controls; there is a delay to pupariation.
The expression of trblGD11640 under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E does not lead to obvious changes in wing size or wing size:trichome density ratio, as compared to controls.
Expression of trblGD11640 in the fat body under the control of Scer\GAL4ppl.PP results in a significant increase in both larval weight and fat body cell size relative to controls. Pupariation is advanced compared with controls. Circulating glucose and trehalose levels are similar to controls but there is a significant increase in total triglyceride levels.
Expression of trblGD11640 in the fat body under the control of Scer\GAL4ppl.PP results in a significant increase in the number and size of lipid drops.
Expression of trblGD11640 under the control of Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6 partially blocks border cell migration.
Adults expressing trblGD11640 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.
