UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of dpr4GD15764 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) results in a significant decrease in egg-laying without affecting female receptivity, as compared to controls.
Adults expressing dpr4GD15764 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) show significantly reduced avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Adults expressing dpr4GD15764 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) show no significant change in the kinetics of high temperature (46[o]C) induced paralysis compared to control flies.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in defects in wing posture.
