UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The cell size in pupal (2hr after pupariation) midgut somatic clones expressing Vps13BGD9044 under the control of Scer\GAL4Scer\FRT.Rnor\Cd2.Act5C is not significantly affected but the cells contain more Atg8a puncta compared to control cells.
Adults expressing CG15523GD9044 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.
