UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of CG31918GD5247 under the control of Scer\GAL4Vm26Aa.F results in moderate dorsal appendage defects in 36% of cases, with the appendages being broad.
Expression of CG31918GD5247 under the control of Scer\GAL4CY2 results in moderate dorsal appendage defects in 57% of cases, with the appendages being broad.
Adults expressing CG31918GD5247 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.
