UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The expression of AstA-R1JF02578 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 does not affect the expected increase in food consumption induced by dietary amino acids, as observed in controls.
Expression of AstA-R1JF02578 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU in adult females does not affect locomotor activity in fed conditions, compared to controls; like controls, locomotor activity is significantly increased under starvation conditions.
