An Hsp70 promoter drives expression of Hver\ω-ACTX-Hv1a which is tagged at the N-terminal end with a signal sequence (Tag:SS(Lsp1β)).
Expression of Zzzz\ω-ACTX-Hv1ahs.T:SS-Lsp1β using heat shock results in shaking, progressive loss of coordination, spastic paralysis and death of all individuals within 24-48 hours of heat shock.
Young adults carrying Zzzz\ω-ACTX-Hv1ahs.T:SS-Lsp1β often fail to successfully inflate and harden their wings following eclosion.
