UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of CG11951GD6332 under the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.1.9 causes hypoalgesia in third instar larvae: the larvae show increased latency response times (decreased nociception) to a noxious thermal stimulus compared to controls and exhibit a significant decrease in the dendritic branching and field size of class IV abdominal dorsal ddaC neurons.
Adults expressing CG11951GD6332 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 of CG11951GD6332 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) results in viable flies or partial lethality, depending on the particular P{GD6332} insertion line used.
