UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of Ufd1GD11868 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 leads to a decrease in walking activity in males only.
Scer\GAL4hs.PU-mediated expression of Ufd1-likeGD11868 significantly attenuates SINV infection.
Adults expressing Ufd1-likeGD11868 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.
