UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237-mediated expression of Usp12-46GD12106 disorganizes the bristle socket pattern on the thoracic surface of adult flies. The overall shape and aspect of the notum is significantly affected; loss of bristles and duplication of sockets is frequent.
Expression of Usp12-46GD12106 under the control of Scer\GAL4bbg-C96 does not result in a wing phenotype.
Expression of Usp12-46GD12106 under the control of Scer\GAL4dpp.PU does not result in a bristle phenotype.
Adults expressing Usp12-46GD12106 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 of Usp12-46GD12106 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) results in viable flies or partial lethality, depending on the particular P{GD12106} insertion line used.
Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237, Usp12-46GD12106 has tormogen cell phenotype, suppressible by N[+]/N55e11
Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4/Usp12-46GD12106 is a suppressor of wing margin bristle | ectopic phenotype of Scer\GAL4hh-Gal4, arrUAS.cPa.Tag:HA

Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237, Usp12-46GD12106, spdoKK103906 has tormogen cell phenotype
Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237, Usp12-46GD12106, spdoKK103906 has mesonotum phenotype
Introducing N55e11/+ into the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237, Usp12-46GD12106 background results in a partial restoration of normal phenotype because the cell fate transformation into socket cells is seldom observed, although lateral inhibition problems as well as malformation of the notum are still obvious.
When both spdoKK103906 and Usp12-46GD12106 are expressed using Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237, an intermediate phenotype is observed characterized by the production of double-bristles or even double-sockets.
