UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of ckGD1408 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU in clones in the Johnston's organ leads to nearly complete detachment of scolopidia from the hinge of the second and third antennal segment.
Flies expressing ckGD1408 under the control of Scer\GAL4Abd-B-LDN show normal rotation of the male genitalia.
Flies expressing ckGD1408 under the control of Scer\GAL4tsh-md621 sometimes show partial rotation of the male genitalia.
Adults expressing ckGD1408 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.
Scer\GAL4Act.PU, ckGD1408 has Johnston organ | P-stage | somatic clone phenotype, non-enhanceable | somatic clone by Ubr3B/Ubr3B
Scer\GAL4Act.PU, ckGD1408 has scolopidium | P-stage | somatic clone phenotype, non-enhanceable | somatic clone by Ubr3B/Ubr3B
Flies carrying Ubr3B mutant clones expressing (under the Scer\GAL4Act.PU driver) ckGD1408 in the Johnston's organ display nearly complete detachment of scolopidia from the hinge of the second and third antennal segment - similar to animals with clones expressing the ckGD1408 alone.
