UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Eggs from females expressing PlexBGD14473 under the control of Scer\GAL4NP1624 (together with Dicer-2, for efficient RNAi) elongate normally.
:Expression of PlexBGD14473 under the control of the Scer\GAL421-7 driver results in increased dendrite crossing (contacting and non-contacting) in the class IV dendrite arborizing neurons.
Expression of PlexBGD14473 under the control of Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371 results in defective walking pattern (short steps and leg dragging) compared to controls.
Adults expressing PlexBGD14473 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.
