UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of RimGD15273 driven by Scer\GAL4phm.PO does not lead to developmental delay/arrest at the larval stage.
Neuromuscular junctions in homozygous third instar larvae expressing RimGD15273 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase RNAi efficiency) show a block of synaptic homeostasis after treatment with philanthotoxin-433 (PhTX): the average EPSP amplitude is significantly reduced in the presence of PhTX compared with the baseline measured in the absence of PhTX.
Adults expressing RimGD15273 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.
