UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The expression of Nt5cGD8619 under the control of Scer\GAL4nSyb.PU (together with Dicer-2, for increased RNAi) leads to decreased jump response in lights-off conditions; it also leads to decreased activity, increased nighttime sleep, and decreased sleep bout number but increased bout duration.
Adults expressing CG1814GD8619 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.
