UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Third instar larvae expressing Ate1GD12543 under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU do not present glial bulges or increased number of glial cell nuclei along peripheral nerves, as compared to controls.
Adults expressing Ate1GD12543 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.
