UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of AIFGD822 under the control of Scer\GAL4Ubi.PU leads to climbing defect and decreased activity while its expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW leads to increased activity.
Expression of AIFGD822 under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR leads to decreased survival under starvation condition or when flies are fed either a sugar diet or a high-fat diet.
Adults expressing AIFGD822 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\GAL4Mef2.PR results in lethality by 7 days after eclosion.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in bristle morphology defects on the notum in 30-40% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
