UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
RNAi using Lcch3GD3384 in neurons targeted by the Split-GAL4 combination of Scer\GAL4dsx-GAL4-DBD and Hsim\VP16AD.VGlut.OK371.T:Zzzz\Zip+,T:SV40\nls-largeT does not significantly affect the percentage of successful copulations or male fertility or copulation duration, compared to genetic controls.
Adults expressing Lcch3GD3384 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.
Depending on the insertion line used, expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR can result in viable flies or late pupal lethality.
