UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The expression of Nt5bGD14594 under the control of Scer\GAL4nSyb.PU (together with Dicer-2, for increased RNAi) leads to increased nighttime sleep (increased sleep bout number, decreased daytime sleep latency) and increased activity.
Adults expressing CG32549GD14594 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.
