UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Flies expressing dbrGD7281 under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.247.Switch during adulthood (timing of expression controlled by feeding with RU486) show normal anaesthesia-resistant memory but show a significant defect in long-term memory compared to controls.
Adults expressing dbrGD7281 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.
