UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of MTPAPGD7296 RNAi under the control of Scer\GAL4da.PU results in significantly reduced body weight in 6-day-old larvae and lethality either at the pharate adult stage or soon after eclosure compared to controls.
Adults expressing CG11418GD7296 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\GAL4Mef2.PR results in late pupal lethality.
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.
