UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of nrv1GD959 under the control of either Scer\GAL4ato.PU or Scer\GAL4nompA.cK has no significant effect on hearing (assayed by measuring sound-evoked potentials in the antennal nerve).
Expression of nrv1GD959 under the control of Scer\GAL4pyx.PS has no effect on hearing.
Adults expressing nrv1GD959 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.
