UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expressing Hnf4GD4362 under the control of Scer\GAL4Ugt36A1.PK induces an increase in lipid droplet content, number, and size (BODIPY staining) in all third instar larval garland nephrocytes, as compared to controls.
Expression of Hnf4GD4362 under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 has no effect on male wing size or patterning.
Expression of Hnf4GD4362 under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 has no effect on female wing size or patterning.
Adults expressing Hnf4GD4362 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.
