UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of unc-13JF02440 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu, in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency and a Gal80[ts] transgene to restrict expression to the 24 hours prior to analysis, results in a significant reduction in the sedative (loss of righting reflex) effects of ethanol, compared to controls.
