UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of AP-2αGD5059 under the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.PU (and Dicer-2, for efficient RNAi) results in mild but fully penetrant ddaC neuron dendrite pruning defects at 16h after puparium formation, as compared to controls.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL41407 results in an increase in the number of neuroblasts in the larval brain compared to controls.
Adults expressing AP-2αGD5059 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) show significantly reduced avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Adults expressing AP-2αGD5059 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) show no significant change in the kinetics of high temperature (46[o]C) induced paralysis compared to control flies.
Depending on the insertion line used, expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR can result in defects in locomotion or adult/pharate lethality.
