Larvae expressing RPA2^GD4430 under the control of Scer\GAL4^c768 show gradual loss of neuroepithelium cells of the optic lobe during the early to mid third instar, and by the late third instar, very few neuroepithelium cells remain in the mutant brain lobe. The lamina of the optic lobe is missing and the medulla cortex is reduced in size in mutant late third instar larvae.

Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4¹⁴⁰⁷ results in loss of neuroblasts in the larval brain associated with increased size of the remaining neuroblasts.

Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4¹⁴⁰⁷ results in shorter neuroblast lineages (less daughter cells per neuroblast) in the larval brain compared to controls.

Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4¹⁴⁰⁷ results in mild defects in the shape of ganglion mother cells in the larval brain.

Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4¹⁴⁰⁷ results in mild defects in the shape of neuroblasts in the larval brain.

Adults expressing RPA2^GD4430 under the control of Scer\GAL4^elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2^Scer\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\GAL4^Mef2.PR results in early pupal lethality.

Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4^pnr-MD237 may result in semi-lethality, depending on the insertion line used.

Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4^pnr-MD237 results in the absence of 90-100% of the Scer\GAL4^pnr-MD237-expressing area of the notum.
