UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adults expressing uspGD1554 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 grossly normal adult indirect flight muscles.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in morphologically wild-type myofibrils in the adult indirect flight muscles.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in wild-type sarcomeres in the adult indirect flight muscles.
Downregulation of usp through expression of uspGD1554 in ddaC neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4109(2)80 causes strong ddaC pruning defects at 18h APF.
