UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
lethal, with Scer\GAL4e22c
Expression of IlkGD6996 RNAi under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 (but not Scer\GAL4A58) results in large syncitia being formed both at boundaries and intrasegmentally reflecting the gradual spatial restriction of the driver expression pattern.
Adults expressing IlkGD6996 under the control of the cardioblast-specific Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4 driver show significantly reduced survival on day 6 after a shift to 29[o]C compared to control flies.
Adults expressing IlkGD6996 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\GAL4Mef2.PR results in embryonic lethality.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in rounded larval body wall muscles.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in wild-type sarcomeres in the larval body wall muscles.
