UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of Ucp4BGD9562 under the control of the cardioblast-specific Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4 driver results in viable flies or partial lethality, depending on the particular P{GD9562} insertion line used.
Adults expressing Ucp4BGD9562 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\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in bristle morphology defects on the notum in 10-20% or 30-40% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain, depending on the insertion line used.
