UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of CG17083GD8788 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) results in a significant decrease in egg-laying without affecting female receptivity, as compared to controls.
Adults expressing CG17083GD8788 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\GAL4Mef2.PR results in late pupal lethality.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in bristle morphology defects on the notum in 10-20% or 20-30% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain, depending on the insertion line used.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in the absence of 20-30% or 50-60% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237-expressing area of the notum, depending on the insertion line used.
