UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of STUB1GD10538 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI leads to a significant reduction in lifespan and an increase in sensitivity to paraquat treatment.
Adults expressing STUB1GD10538 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.
