UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of NimB5GD5395 under the control of Scer\GAL4Hml.Δ does not result in any significantly reduced survival when infected with Leishmania amastigotes, as compared to wild type.
Adults expressing NimB5GD5395 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) can show significantly reduced avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies, depending on the particular P{GD5395} insertion line used.
Adults expressing NimB5GD5395 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) show no significant change in the kinetics of high temperature (46[o]C) induced paralysis compared to control flies.
