UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Scer\GAL4tub.PU-mediated expression of intrGD6326 in males causes a significant increase in female remating receptivity four days after initial mating, but not at one day after initial mating.
Scer\GAL4tub.PU-mediated expression of intrGD6326 in males reduces female fertility over a 10 day assay.
Compared to controls, wild type females mated to Scer\GAL4tub.PU intrGD6326 males show little or no retention of SP in their seminal receptacles at 4 days after mating, and significantly higher numbers of sperm in their seminal receptacles at 10 days after mating.
Adults expressing intrGD6326 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.
