Expression of a hairpin loop of melt sequence (amplified by PCR using tctagaCTCGCACGCGGACTATGTGAA and tctagaCTTGGCATGGGGTGGCTCTTC), separated by an intron space, is under the control of UAS sequences.
MeltdsRNA.Scer\UAS.pTa; MeltdsRNA.Scer\UAS.pTb; Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL flies have only about 25% the body fat levels of controls flies.
