UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of Poc1GD6894 under the control of Scer\GAL4bam.PU has little effect on centriole elongation in spermatocytes but embryos fathered by these males are developmentally delayed.
Adults expressing Poc1GD6894 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.
