UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Larvae expressing vavGD1557 under the control of Scer\GAL4Hml.PG fail to encapsulate eggs when parasitised by the avirulent L. boulardi wasp strain G486 (no melanisation is seen). Plasmatocytes fully cover the egg, while lamellocytes partially cover it.
Adults expressing VavGD1557 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 may result in semi-lethality, depending on the insertion line used.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in bristle morphology defects on the notum in 0% or 10-20% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain, depending on the insertion line used.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in the absence of 0% or 20-30% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237-expressing area of the notum, depending on the insertion line used.
