UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Second instar larvae expressing apnGD3928 under the control of either Scer\GAL4da.G32 or Scer\GAL4btl.PS show unusually twisted and uninflated tracheal tubes.
Adults expressing CG15887GD3928 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.
