UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of enaGD8910 under the control of Scer\GAL4kirre.PU (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) results in myotubes with significantly shorter filopodia at 18-20 hrs APF, but filopodia density remains unchanged; and also leads to fusion defects in myotubes, with a reduction in the number of small nuclei originating from fusing myoblasts, and most myoblasts remain at a greater distance from the myotube; indirect flight muscles in these flies exhibit defects including muscle fiber splitting, as compared to wild type.
Late third instar mutant wing discs expressing enaGD8910 under the control of Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1 exhibit increased boundary cell proliferation, compromising the dorsal-ventral affinity boundary. The anterior-posterior boundary is unaffected.
Adults expressing enaGD8910 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 30-40% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.

Co-expression of IRSp53HMC02920 does not significantly enhance the effect on myotube filopodia length, but does result in a significant reduction in filopodia density, and an increase in severity of subsequent muscle fiber splitting in the indirect flight muscle of flies expressing enaGD8910 under the control of Scer\GAL4kirre.PU.
