UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Third instar larval neuromuscular junctions expressing NaPi-IIIGD16853 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU display significant decreases in length and in the number of terminal boutons, as compared to controls.
Adults expressing NaPi-IIIGD16853 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 grossly normal adult indirect flight muscles.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in trapezoid myofibrils in the adult indirect flight muscles.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in sarcomeres with broadened Z-lines in the adult indirect flight muscles.
