UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Knockdown of Act42A through expression of Act42AGD1350 under the control of Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1 causes 89% of the wings having fewer campaniform sensilla. Loss of other types of es organs including post-vertical bristles, macrochaetae and microchaetae.
Knockdown of Act42A through expression of Act42AGD1350 under the control of Scer\GAL4dpp.blk1, results in the absence of the precursors and precursor progeny of the three campaniform sensilla.
Adults expressing Act42AGD1350 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in lethality or semi-lethality at the pupal stage, depending on the insertion line used.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in extra bristles on the notum in 30-40% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in bristle morphology defects on the notum in 10-20% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in an enlarged notum.
