UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The expression of sbmGD3355 under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU (in combination with Dicer-2, for an efficient RNAi) leads to a significant delay to pupation, to a significant increase in pupal volume and to a significant decrease in the size of the larval brain.
Adults expressing CG9413GD3355 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 viable flies or semi-lethality.
