UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
autophagic vacuole & larval fat body | somatic clone | cell autonomous, with Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP
lysosome & larval fat body | somatic clone | cell autonomous, with Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP
Adults expressing Srp14GD13498 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.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in late larval lethality.
Srp14GD13498 clones in fat bodies from well-fed early third instar larvae (generated using Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP) accumulate lysosomes, as indicated by elevated LysoTracker staining, and show redistribution of the Atg8a product into autophagosomes.
