UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
A significant portion of eggs produced by females expressing piwiGD11827 in their germline under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.PG show fused or absent dorsal appendages.
Adults expressing piwiGD11827 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 early pupal lethality.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in lethality before the pupal stage.
Scer\GAL4VP16.nanos.UTR/piwiGD11827 is a suppressor of testis phenotype of Tudor-SN0614/Tudor-SN1120
piwiGD11827/Scer\GAL4NP1624 is a non-suppressor of testis phenotype of Tudor-SN0614/Tudor-SN1120
Expression of piwiGD11827 driven in the germline by Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 (but not Scer\GAL4tj-NP1624) suppresses the testis swollen apical tip phenotype seen in Tudor-SN0614/Tudor-SN1120 males.
