UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of Ir41aKK104134 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) does not lead to a significant change in female feeding preference index for 1% yeast extract versus 5mM sucrose solution, as compared to controls.
In a feeding preference assay for amino-acid-depleted yeast extract supplemented with serine, threonine and alanine, females expressing Ir41aKK104134 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) do not exhibit a significantly changed preference index, as compared to controls.
In olfactory preference assays for polyamines, flies expressing Ir41aKK104134 under the control of Scer\GAL4Ir76b.916 show a significant decrease in their attraction to putrescine or cadaverine, as compared to wild type.
