UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Pupae expressing CIA30GD6338 via Scer\GAL4da.PU are small compared to controls. Adult flies show an ~30% reduction in body weight compared to controls and show severe degeneration of both myofibrils and mitochondria in thoracic flight muscles.
Flies expressing CIA30GD6338 via Scer\GAL4da.PU show: a drastically reduced ability to recover from exposure to hypoxia; increased sensitivity to hyperoxia, greater susceptibility to wet starvation; and drastically reduced resistance to elevated temperature.
Adults expressing CIA30GD6338 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.
Depending on the insertion line used, expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR can result in flightless flies or adult/pharate lethality.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in grossly normal adult indirect flight muscles.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in morphologically wild-type myofibrils in the adult indirect flight muscles.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in wild-type sarcomeres in the adult indirect flight muscles.

Co-expression of Scer\NDI1Scer\UAS.cBa rescues the sensitivity to hypoxia and hyperoxia, and partially restores normal survival upon wet starvation and heat stress in flies expressing CIA30GD6338 via Scer\GAL4da.PU.
