UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat that targets the dicistronic transcription unit that encodes the CG46439 and Iyd open reading frames.
Adults expressing CG6279GD2412 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.
