UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of mspsGD11498 leads to extra neuroblasts in both type I (Scer\GAL4ase.neuro) and II (Scer\GAL4wor.PA and Scer\GAL80ase.PN) neuroblast lineages in larval brains.
Larval ddaC and ddaE neurons expressing mspsGD11498 under the control of Scer\GAL4221 or Scer\GAL4477, respectively (in combination with Dicer-2, for a more efficient RNAi) show severe decreases in the proportion of dendrites persisting 18h after consecutive axotomy and dendrite severance (i.e. axotomy-8h-dendrite severance-18h), as compared to controls.
Adults expressing mspsGD11498 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\GAL4Mef2.PR results in late pupal lethality.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in the absence of 70-80% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237-expressing area of the notum.
