UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of two copies of RhoGAPp190 sequence (the N-terminal domain), arranged in an inverted repeat.
Expression of RhoGAPp190dsRNA.N.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu results in premature defasciculation of ISNb axons prior to reaching muscle 13, and sometimes muscle 6, reflecting either increased defasciculation or a defect in muscle target recognition. The ISNb premature branching phenotype is seen in 22.1% of hemisegments, while the total fraction of hemisegments showing ISNb defects is 36.4%.
Expression of RhoGAPp190dsRNA.N.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4OK107 results in truncation or loss of dorsal branches of the mushroom body.

Sema-1ak13702/+ suppresses the premature ISNb branching seen in embryos expressing RhoGAPp190dsRNA.N.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu from 22.1% to 8.2% of hemisegments, while the total fraction of hemisegments showing ISNb defects is reduced from 36.4% to 21.2% in these animals.
Heterozygosity for either Df(4)C3 or plexBKG00878 has no effect on the mutant ISNb phenotype seen in embryos expressing RhoGAPp190dsRNA.N.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu.
pbl2/+ significantly reduces the penetrance of the ISNb premature branching phenotype seen in embryos expressing RhoGAPp190dsRNA.N.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (from 22.1% to 9.4% of hemisegments). These embryos show a significant increase in defasciculation defects (excluding premature branching defects) at the last ISNb choice point.
Transcription from the P{UAS-RhoGAPp190.N-dsRNA} construct should produce RhoGAPp190 dsRNA, resulting in dsRNA interference (RNAi) of the RhoGAPp190 gene.
