UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of CG10345KK107266 under the control of Scer\GAL4Hml.Δ results in significantly reduced survival and increased parasite load when infected with Leishmania amastigotes, along with a significant decrease in intracellular parasites in the hemocytes, and an increase in the number of promastigotes 8 days post-infection, as compared to wild type.
Adults expressing CG10345GD3023 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.
