UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression via Scer\GAL4da.PU results in developmental delay with a severe reduction in body size at the 6-day old larval stage. ~75% of pupae eclose. At 13 days, male flies show a significantly reduced climbing ability.
Adults expressing Lrpprc2GD6368 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.
