UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of eaterGD2618 under the control of Scer\GAL4Hml.Δ does not result in any significantly reduced survival when infected with Leishmania amastigotes, as compared to wild type.
Adults expressing eaterGD2618 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 extra bristles on the notum in 0% or 10-20% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain, depending on the insertion line used.
