UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Embryonic neurons in primary culture which express Eb1GD13490 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu show a significant shortening of axons compared to controls and show disorganisation of the microtubules.
Larvae expressing Eb1GD13490 under the control of Scer\GAL4Hml.PG show strongly reduced encapsulation (6%) of eggs when parasitised by the avirulent L. boulardi wasp strain G486. Plasmatocytes and lamellocytes are absent from the capsule surrounding the egg.
Adults expressing Eb1GD13490 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\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in bristle morphology defects on the notum in 10-20% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
