UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Flies with expression of BOD1GD11677 (together with UAS-dicer2 to enhance RNAi efficiency) driven by Scer\GAL4elav.PU show normal startle response but have significant learning defects (in a simple non-associative learning assay, the light-off jump reflex habituation paradigm) compared to controls. Third instar larvae with expression of BOD1GD11677 (together with UAS-dicer2 to enhance RNAi efficiency) driven by Scer\GAL4elav.PU show significant increases in synaptic branching points at the neuromuscular junction compared to controls.
Adults expressing CG5514GD11677 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 bristle morphology defects on the notum in 0-10% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
