UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of CG7227GD13182 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 CG7227GD13182 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.
