UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The dendrites of the dendritic arbor of the ddaC class IV neurons show an increase in crossing index in esnKO6/+ larvae expressing esnGD7841 under the control of Scer\GAL4477, although the cumulative branch length of the dendrites is unchanged in the mutant larvae.
Adults expressing esnGD7841 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.
Depending on the insertion line used, expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR can result in a weak flyer phenotype.
