UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Garland cell nephrocytes expressing Gapvd1GD9179 under the control of Scer\GAL4pros.PMG show impaired function (i.e. they uptake significantly less albumin than controls), slit diaphragm defects (i..e slit diaphragm proteins appeared distorted; although slit diaphragms are formed properly at the surface, some appear ectopically, deeper in the labyrinthine channels) and labyrinthine channel defects (i.e. labyrinthine channels are dilated, fused, and protrude deeply into the cell).
Adults expressing CG1657GD9179 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.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in the absence of 20-30% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237-expressing area of the notum.
