UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expressing PGRP-LEGD14089 under the control of Scer\GAL4Cg.PA results in a significantly decreased lipid storage in the fat body of starved adult flies.
Adults expressing PGRP-LEGD14089 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.
