UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adult flies expressing svJF02582 under the control of Scer\GAL4Dot.PK display nephrocyte functional defects (measured by uptake assays) and reduced adult lifespan relative to controls.
Clones expressing svJF02582 (using P{CoinFLP-GAL4} and Scer\FLP1ey.PN to stochastically generate patches of cells expressing Scer\GAL4Act5C.CoinFLP-FRT) are under-represented in the adult eye compared to control cells. In addition, irregularities in the arrangement of mutant ommatidia are seen.
