UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of His2AvHM05177 under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16, Scer\GAL4nos.PG and Scer\GAL4otu.T:Hsim\VP16 causes significantly decreased female fertility, small ovaries and defects in cyst differentiation in the germarium, as compared to controls.
Expression of His2AvHM05177 under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 does not affect the development of the germarium or ovariole, but results in a significant proportion of eggs showing the 'dumpless' egg phenotype, as shown by defective late stage egg chambers with short eggs and non-fragmented nurse cells, and a significant reduction in egg-laying, as compared to controls.
Expression of His2AvHM05177 under the control of Scer\GAL4tj.PU or Scer\GAL4C587 leads to severe packaging defects during oogenesis, ranging from two cysts in a single egg chamber to complete ovariole fusions; many germaria show additional stalk-like structures without germline cysts, and egg laying is nearly completely abolished, as compared to controls.
Expression of His2AvHM05177 is larval/pupal lethal with melanotic tumors with the Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI driver, results in small rough eyes and ectopic vibrissae with the Scer\GAL4ey.PH driver, mild rough eye phenotype with Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, unfurled wings with Scer\GAL4nub.PK and is pharate pupal lethal at 25[o]C with Scer\GAL4en.PU and leads to occasional vein defects at 18[o]C.
