UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The expression of Dnaaf3GD14800 under the control of Scer\GAL4VP16.bam results in viable, sterile males, despite their ability to mate; their seminal vesicles are devoid of motile mature sperm.
The expression of Dnaaf3GD14800 under the control of Scer\GAL4sca.PU (together with Dicer-2, for more efficient RNAi) results in uncoordinated adults, with reduced climbing activity.
Adults expressing CG17669GD14800 under the control of Scer\GAL4sca.PU show a significant decrease in climbing activity, as compared to controls.
Adults expressing CG17669GD14800 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.
