UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Flies expressing edinGD6161 under the control of Scer\GAL4c564 do not show a significant reduction in survival compared to wild-type controls after infection with either L. monocytogenes or E. cloacae.
Flies expressing edinGD6161 under the control of Scer\GAL4c564 show a reduction in survival compared to wild-type controls after infection with E. faecalis.
Adults expressing edinGD6161 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\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in loss of bristles on the notum in 30-40% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in bristle morphology defects on the notum in 50-60% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
Flies expressing edinGD6161 under the control of Scer\GAL4Lsp2.PH display increased sensitivity to Listeria monocytogenes infection, dying significantly faster than controls. However, bacterial loads in these flies are not significantly different from controls.
