UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of reptGD4561 under the control of Scer\GAL4Tub.PU from larval hatching onwards leads to defects in third instar salivary gland polytene chromosomes (smaller and with a thin and disorganized structure).
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PU leads to small eyes and microcephaly.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL41407 results in an increase in the average size of neuroblasts in the larval brain compared to controls.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL41407 results in shorter neuroblast lineages (less daughter cells per neuroblast) in the larval brain compared to controls.
Adults expressing reptGD4561 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.
