UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
A scattered distribution of single muscle filaments are seen overlying the regular muscle sheath of the testis in adult males expressing hbsGD2566 under the control of Scer\GAL4C855a, in contrast to wild type.
Adults expressing hbsGD2566 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 may result in semi-lethality, depending on the insertion line used.
