UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of MED9GD8665 under the control of Scer\GAL4bam.T:Hsim\VP16 (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) results in partial meiotic arrest in spermatocytes.
Expression of MED9GD8665 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) results in a significant decrease in virgin female receptivity when mutant females are paired with single wild type males, but not when mutant females are paired with 2 wild type males, as compared to controls.
Adults expressing MED9GD8665 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 MED9GD8665 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) show significantly reduced 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 adult/pharate lethality or late pupal lethality.
