UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of sinuGD2315 RNAi under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in significantly decreased level of pigmentation on the abdominal tergites 5 and 6 in adult females compared to controls.
Adults expressing sinuGD2315 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 of sinuGD2315 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) results in viable flies, partial lethality or complete lethality, depending on the particular P{GD2315} insertion line used.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in lethality or semi-lethality at the pupal stage, depending on the insertion line used.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in loss of bristles on the notum in 30-40% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in bristle morphology defects on the notum in 40-50% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
