UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of eyaGD1441 under the control of Scer\GAL4mirr-DE results in flies in which the dorsal part of the eye is deleted.
Adults expressing eyaGD1441 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\GAL4GMR.PU eyaGD1441 eye/brain complexes show an average of 18.2 overshooting axon bundles per brain, compared to 8.4 in controls. The mistargeted axon bundles are generally thicker than in the control.
Males that express eyaGD1441 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C have greatly reduced or absent eyes.
Scer\GAL4GMR.PU, eyaGD1441 has abnormal neuroanatomy | third instar larval stage phenotype, enhanceable by AblGD1344, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU
Scer\GAL4GMR.PU, eyaGD1441 has larval brain | third instar larval stage phenotype, enhanceable by AblGD1344, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU
Coexpression of AblGD1344 increases the number of axon targeting defects in Scer\GAL4GMR.PU eyaGD1441 eye/brain complexes from 18.2 to 21.8 axon bundles per brain.
