An Hsp70 promoter drives expression of the complete open reading frame of Hsap\SLC11A1.
Flies in which Hsap\NRAMP1hs.PD is expressed using heat shock at 37oC for 1 hour at different times during development show no morphological defects. Flies carring Hsap\NRAMP1hs.PD and reared at 25oC or 27oC show wild-type responses in a feeding preference assay.
Hsap\SLC11A1hs.PD is a suppressor of abnormal taste perception phenotype of Mvl97f
Partially rescues the feeding preference assay defects of Mvl97f flies, in a dose-dependent manner.
