UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Fat body cells of larvae expressing Rab2GD11158 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU show deficit in the formation of autolysosomes upon starvation (as assessed by LysoTracker and other marker stainings): both the number and size of marker-positive dots is reduced compared to controls.
Expression of Rab2GD11158 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) results in a complete loss of egg-laying without affecting female receptivity, as compared to controls.
Adults expressing Rab2GD11158 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) show significantly reduced avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Adults expressing Rab2GD11158 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) show no significant change in the kinetics of high temperature (46[o]C) induced paralysis compared to control flies.
Depending on the insertion line used, expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR can result in a weak flyer phenotype.
