UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The expression of Hsp26GD1273 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 leads to the neuromuscular junctions of third instar larval muscles 6/7 exhibiting satellite boutons, and clustering and decrease in the number of terminal boutons, which present a significant decrease in microtubule loops, as compared to controls; expression under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH leads to no obvious eye defects in adults, as compared to controls.
Adults expressing Hsp26GD1273 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.
