UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of PyKGD12123 driven in adult neurons using Scer\GAL4nSyb.PS in combination with GAL80ts does not significantly affect lifespan; knockdown in adult glia (with Scer\GAL4repo.PU and GAL80ts) significantly shortens lifespan compared to controls and leads to neuronal cell death.
Adults expressing PyKGD12123 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.
PykGD12123, Scer\GAL4drm.7.1 is an enhancer of terminal tracheal cell | larval stage phenotype of Scer\GAL4drm.7.1, trcGL01127
