UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expressing sut1GD1864 under the control of Scer\GAL4fkh.PH does not significantly affect the clearing of salivary gland tissue in pupae, as compared to controls.
Adults expressing sut1GD1864 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.
