UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Under control conditions, the adulthood-only expression of Arr1GD11744 under the control of Scer\GAL4esg-NP7397 (and Gal80[ts], for the temporal regulation of expression) does not significantly affect the mitotic index in the male adult posterior midgut, as compared to controls.
Adults expressing Arr1GD11744 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.
