UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adults expressing CngAGD13196 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.
Third instar larvae expressing CngGD13196 under the control of either Scer\GAL4Gyc-89Da.1.9 or Scer\GAL4Gyc-89Db.3.4 show a normal hypoxia escape response; mutant larvae which have been allowed to burrow into the food and commence feeding take the same time as control larvae to leave the food when exposed to low oxygen concentrations.
