UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adults expressing VhaAC39-2GD10714 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.
Scer\GAL4bs.PM-mediated co-expression of VhaAC39-1GD9859 and VhaAC39-2GD10714 results in tracheal stalk cells aberrantly forming two or more connections to a neighbouring terminal cell and long, branched autocellular, seamed tubes extending well beyond the terminal cell nucleus.
