UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of shakBGD7794 under the control of Scer\GAL4tj.PU (along with expression of UAS-Dcr2 to increase RNAi efficiency) results in a small percentage of sterility.
Adults expressing shakBGD7794 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.
