UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adult females expressing OambGD696 under the control of either Scer\GAL4GMR44E10 or Scer\GAL4GMR47A04 (and using UAS-Dicer2 to enhance RNAi efficiency) lay significantly fewer eggs and take longer to ovulate an egg than controls. The flies also show defects in trimming of posterior follicle cells (with the Scer\GAL4GMR44E10 driver) and produce fewer trimmed eggs.
Expression of OambGD696 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR48B04 in starved flies results in a significant short-term olfactory memory defect following training with arabinose, compared to controls.
Flies expressing OambGD696 under the control of Scer\GAL40104 show significantly impaired 3 minute memory after olfactory appetitive conditioning with arabinose.
Adults expressing OambGD696 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 flightless flies.
