UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of blos4GD8242 under the control of blos4GD8242 results in a reduction in red eye pigment compared to controls.
Adults expressing Blos4GD8242 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.
Depending on the insertion line used, expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR can result in early pupal lethality or late larval lethality.
