UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Flies expressing SLC5A11GD394 under the control of either Scer\GAL4GMR38H02 or Scer\GAL4SLC5A11.1.1 show defects in taste-independent nutrient selection, preferring more concentrated, non-nutritive L-glucose over D-glucose after 18 hours of starvation. Expression under the control of either Scer\GAL4GMR28D01 or Scer\GAL4lilli-189Y does not result in this defect.
Adults expressing SLC5A11GD394 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.
