UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a short inverted repeat.
Expression of gekGL00299 under the control of Scer\GAL4eve.RN2 results in defects in dendritogenesis in the embryonic aCC motoneurons (decreased number of dendritic tips) compared to controls.
Females heterozygous for gekGL00299 and MTD-Gal4 (consists of Scer\GAL4otu.T:Hsim\VP16, Scer\GAL4nos.PG and Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16) crossed to gekGL00299 males results in: 70% hatching; non-maternal effect.
