UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
No effect on viability is seen when pgant2GD10918 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL.
Expression of pgant2GD10918 under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 does not result in wing blistering.
Adults expressing pgant2GD10918 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.
